What visitors say

We only had a brief visit between daily Masses, but the art and architecture are excellent. Everywhere you wander in the church, you find more beautiful sacred art, but it doesn't feel at all cluttered. It's a wonderful peaceful space in the middle of a large and busy city. The staff members who greeted us were very friendly when we entered and as we left. Though it appears wedged between office building from the outside, it feels like any other standalone church from the inside. St. Peter’s Catholic Church is a beautiful church right in the middle of downtown Chicago and it really stands out with its stunning architecture and peaceful atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the church feels calm, welcoming, and full of character. The design and details inside are truly impressive and make it a wonderful place not only for prayer and reflection, but also for appreciating the beauty of the space itself. The people there were also very nice and welcoming, which made the visit even more meaningful. It is a lovely church to stop by whether you are visiting the area or just looking for a quiet and uplifting place in the city. This church is very welcoming when I came for Friday morning mass. The granite altar is carved details of the holy family with detail yet simplistic in design. Several smaller side altars offer opportunity to give thanks, praise, or ask for guidance and to light candles. Beautiful stations of the cross and stained glass. The gift shop is on the lower floor with rosaries, cards. Books and more Accessible venue with heavy door. From out of town and needed a place to attend Sunday Mass The church Is beautiful, the Mass itself was good It is not very handicap accessible. I didn’t realize there was a lift until I left. I was able to ask someone for help getting my stroller inside. When I was leaving, one of the guys that worked there was so rude to me, I thought I had done something wrong. But I was just trying to find a way out. He was so aggressive in his tone and choice of words, I actually said to him “I’m sorry if I have done something to upset you” and he then he responded “i know this church better than you do and you’re bantering with me” Once I went upstairs, someone did help me with the lift. But he was also extremely rude, when I tried to go through the door, he said “I said I would open the door and you’re not listening to me” What he meant was that he needed to open both doors, not just one door, for us to fit out of it with the stroller. As a mother traveling alone, especially during the Christmas season, it really took the grace and happiness away from the Mass service I had just attended. I won’t remember the beauty or happiness of the service. I’ll remember how I was treated by people that work there. I’m sure it’s difficult to have strangers in the church where you work, but if you’re men of God, and can’t be Christ like to those around you, maybe don’t be a face of the church. Several daily masses and frequent confessions, at a restful oasis in the middle of the loop. The Franciscans are wise and wonderful. The decorations are minimal but they do amazing things with swaths of cloth for various holy days (red for Jesus’ blood during Holy Week)!! ❤️‍🔥😇 The picture is from the octave of Easter.
