Abandoned Roman Catholic Church

Exploring a Massive Abandoned Roman Catholic Church in Chicago

[adrianuy]

As a Roman Catholic I pray to God to help prevent the destruction of this Beautiful church and for the people who are defending it.

It’s such a pretty church, I hope the Catholics get that work of art back.

Easy formula: have a Latin Mass established there. It will attract more and more people and in just a few months you´ll have a stable community.

As a Roman Catholic, this is just sad to see. So many prayers from people who went to mass now ruined by abandonment, crime, and arson.

Baptist here: please save this wonderful church! Believe it or not I never want the light of the Catholic Church to go out in the world! This church was built beautifully for God’s glory and all the artistic and intricate work shows a love and reverence for Him. Even though I don’t agree with all of Catholic teachings, I do believe your church is a force for good in this world - and even as a so-called Protestant, we need you!

I'm Roman Catholic was raised Roman Catholic and I've been confirmed and I've taught catechism. All I can think of when I watch this is how the people that probably gave their hard-earned money to donate to keep the church going, are now outside praying that their precious Church won't be demolished. Very sad.

A TLM Catholic parish can revive this Church building very quickly.
Prayers🙏🎄

Beautiful church. May Christ reside and be adored in that tabernacle once again!

I had heard about St. Adelbert's and prayed that it would not close. I praise God that it is still in its intended form as a house of worship. It's not empty because you are inside. Thank you. Please say a Hail Mary for the church and all those who will come to know God, but have no one to pray for them.

Give it to a Traditional Latin Mass Rite Catholic Community of Faith, and as a result, it can be fully rebuilt in a year or two.

Jesus I love you. Please save this church for the sake of all the sinners and the world.

Bring in the Society of St Pius X. They will sort it out and bring Glory to God with that beautiful building.

[gaelrodregez]

As a Catholic Christian this church needs to be open😢✝️

[barbpaq]

Pray for a traditional Latin Mass group to celebrate mass there.

[BitontoAutos]

So many have turned their backs to God. Only a remnant will remain.

[trinitybrikho]

it’s not empty, God is still, and always will be there.

[shirleymarie]

Please pray 🙏 for this beautiful Catholic Church to be open again and in full glory amen. 🙏📿✝️

You can blame the Vatican 2 council and the explosion of modernism.

[francesmanderson]

So sad. I pray it can be saved, restored and re-consecrated. 🙏
