St Benedict Catholic Church — Attraction in Lake View Township

I want to tell you people something about this place where you bring your money and you think that they are there to protect you and inspire you and bring you to God. You're wrong nobody can bring you to God no amount of money on earth is going to bring you to God.

These people that you support they do not support the people in their community.

All musicians were magnificent. The music was absolutely beautiful! St. Benedict's is an extremely welcoming parish and that we...

I was born and raised on Lincoln Ave in Chicago in the early 30's. I went to St. Benedict School and Church for my elementary education. My uncle, Father Zimmerman was the first pastor when the Church was built. At that time there was only the elementary school and the place where the high school is now was our playground. My dad had a butcher shop right across Leavitt St. at 2151 W Irving Pk Rd. Even back then St. Benedict's was a wonderful Church and School to attend. Some...
