  Historic landmark...church...cornerstone of the community...sanctuary...gathering place...cultural center. The Shrine of Christ the King is all these things, with the Mass and liturgy as its central focus, anchoring and unifying everything that is done here. Daily Mass, weekly devotions, and an ever-increasing schedule of cultural events, spiritual education, and social gatherings make this imposing building hum with life.
  
  It’s the people, though, the “living stones” that give it that special character—a welcoming and familial atmosphere that builds on the shared faith to create a true community. The priests who serve the congregation here live and work in the neighborhood and are always available to whoever is in need of the sacraments, a friendly chat, spiritual direction, or a pickup game of hockey or baseball… The people who come from over an hour away and those right down the street have a special camaraderie that they’re always willing to share, and the relationships forged here extend beyond the “see you on Sunday” variety.
  
  The beauty and reverence and spiritual richness found in the liturgy are made even more profound by the truly catholic experience of being united in spirit with those present, both in church and throughout the week.

  The Shrine of Christ the King is a unique gem in the city of Chicago! I was here visiting from out of town for the weekend of Open House Chicago and received such warm hospitality and generosity from the priests of the Shrine as well as the Shrine's parishioners. When I first walked in one of the priests was kind enough to give me an extensive tour of the inside of the church. It was amazing- everything from its magnificent architecture to its statues, side altars, and main altar was so uplifting to the soul. I was really fortunate to attend the Tridentine Solemn High Mass which the Shrine graciously offers to the public regularly.The Mass felt like the celestial experience of Heaven on Earth as it is in reality. It truly takes you into another realm. It was deeply satisfying from a spiritual sense and I cannot wait to visit again! Highly recommend it to anyone!!
