St Peter’s Cath Church

Great little church, in a convenient location and daily mass. Recommended to new followers and has great cermons/​Mass

Beautiful church. Attended a wedding here and I was very moved by the priest’s homily.
It’s a very spacious church, and clearly there has been much done to preserve and maintain it.
I was grateful to have the air conditioning working well that day, as it was a tad more humid than I’m accustomed to.
Later in the evening, I was able to attend a Vigil (for Sunday) mass, and another priest celebrated at that mass. I noted that the church was quite full for a Saturday evening, with a mix of much older Caucasians, and several Filipino worshipers.
I am always glad to see churches thriving in other cities. I’m aware that some parishes in other areas of the US and across the world, have been closing because of the shortage of Parishioners or the lack of Priests.
We were also addressed by the new, incoming principal of the adjacent Catholic elementary school. Something for locals to look into: they were offering full scholarships for Catholic Education.

I love it when you find something fantastic randomly! This is a lovely little Catholic Church in a cute area of town with a lot of little shops. I don’t know that I would drive out of my way specifically just to visit, but we were so glad that we spotted it on our way to a cute (and yummy, see my review) bakery within walking distance called Sweety Pies.
While we were inside taking photographs, really enjoying the stained-​glass windows and architecture, there happened to be musicians in the rafters rehearsing. Such a nice way to further appreciate the beauty around us. It turns out there was to be a wedding here in less than a half hour!
If you are a shutterbug, or just appreciate the wonderful architecture, sculptures, and stained-​glass of many old churches, and are in the neighborhood, you should enjoy the charm of St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Skokie.

This grand structure is an architectural landmark. It is aprox. 100yrs. old. Many visitors from the area like myself have been drawn to this building to photograph it or step inside for quiet reflection.
