St. Gregory's Hall and Catholic Church Tours have partnered to bring you this unique experience.

This tour of Edgewater’s Norman Gothic Church, St. Gregory the Great, will highlight and ‘decode’ the rich symbolism of the church’s liturgical art - from stained glass windows and carved saints to decorative medallions and color symbolism.
​
The abundance and coherence of St. Gregory the Great’s art and iconography is the unique result of a close collaboration between the founding pastor, Rev. Monsignor Michael Klasen (1874-1945) and the architect and artisans commissioned to furnish the church. As we will see, every detail of the art and design serves to illuminate scripture, church history, and tradition.

Deepen your own faith and knowledge of Christian iconography by joining us on this tour!

Led by Sarah Crow (artist-in-residence).

Come check out a shrine dedicated to a diminutive woman, an indomitable "CEO" for the Sacred Heart, mother to thousands and a Chicago Saint! As in Italy, we will walk through a small set of unassuming doors into a surprisingly large sacred space - - a church disguised as one of Chicago's skyscrapers and run by faithful Franciscans who anchor Chicago’s downtown business district. Another stop will be at a small singularly beautiful jewelbox. Built by Italians and heavily influenced by Italy's finest craftsmen, thier intense love for the Madonna will be evident. We will lunch at the two level Italian market Eataly - featuring wines, cheeses, Italian kitchen gizmos, and multiple mouthwatering restaurant options. Small museum and gift shop also available.

Beginning with the Basilica of St Hyacinth, tour three of Chicago's magnificent churches with an experienced guide.
