A sacred Chicago landmark

Beautiful because it is holy.

Once the chapel of Quigley Preparatory Seminary, Saint James Chapel is today the Cardinal’s private chapel. It is used for reserved liturgies and events, for Catholic weddings, and on occasion for concerts beneath windows long counted among Chicago’s art treasures.

The chapel is not open for walk-in prayer or casual visits.
