Great place to take a walk, bike ride, picnic and spend an hour or an entire day

May the Lord our God have mercy upon those in power within this Archdiocese who care not for the spiritual nourishment of their flock, but instead behave as egotistical drama queens who insist that the future of the Church within Chicagoland rests upon those great do-gooders of the Second Vatican Council. While within the city limits there are some of the most beautiful parishes every constructed on US soil, the liturgical abuse that has went on within any given parish for over half a century begs the question, “Do they even care?”
This Archdiocese,who in reality operates as a social welfare agency/real estate conglomerate/Democratic Party fundraiser who just happens to moonlight as a sacrament dispenser, deserves not a PENNY from the faithful. Let them receive what they’ve given.

Made a few visits here for hard-to-find ingredients. The owner is a pleasure to deal with, and the Yaya up front reminds me deeply of my Italian American grandmother.

Gorgeous and heavenly are but a few words to describe this church, inside and out!

Does anyone happen to know which canonical Orthodox Church this establishment is a part of? There are overlapping jurisdictions in the US, but I can’t find any info related to this particular church. And because it says “Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Cathedral” on the sign outside, I’m tempted to conclude that this particular church is non-canonical in nature. That may be fine for those who live in the area, some of whom are elderly and walk to liturgy, who otherwise can not travel to other area Orthodox churches, but it’s something that should be addressed and clarified PUBLICLY.
