Benvenuti nel santuario della Madonna di Pompei, a Chicago
Welcome to the Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii, Chicago
The oldest continuing Italian American church in Chicago, located on the west side in the heart of historic “Little Italy.”
As a Shrine we offer healing and hope, we ask for mercy and grace, and we preach the love of Jesus Christ to all like family, proudly celebrating our heritage and tradition. Here the restless seeking of the soul finds a safe place to explore its sacred journey.
