The people are actually really really nice. They come to you and greet you warm-heartedly. The church has amazing history. The organ they have was once the largest organ in the world.

Review 300......had to be something I love…read more My husband and I were married here 8 years ago and Holy Family on Roosevelt is still the Church we go home to. The Church's architecture is amazing. They say it is Chicago's only example of pre-Civil War Victorian architecture. There is always something new to be discovered or rediscovered, as rehab and restoration efforts are continuous on this fine building. The stained glass windows are original. If you have opportunity to attend a mass, a wedding or take a tour, do so. It is absolutely worth it. Make sure Sam Parker's gospel choir is performing. The history of Holy Family is stellar. It is over 155 years old this year. The Church survived the Chicago fire. In fact, they say the O'Leary's were parishioners back then. The tower was once Chicago's tallest. Some of the stained glass is the oldest in Chicago. The pipe organ and gilded angels have a rich histories. There is a parking lot on Roosevelt Road West of May St. As a parish, Holy Family's motto is "Our Doors are Open Wide". I could not agree more. There is not a warmer, more welcoming parish than Holy Family.

Have to bring our own lights since it is so poor on the stage. Fabulous old murals and wall details just begging to be restored. Huge space seating hundreds, has a ghostly old feel to it. The surrounding neighborhood is not the most appealing but it is close to the red line Lawrence stop. History can be found at: http://www.compassrose.org/uptown/Preston-Bradley.html. Highlights: Preston Bradley, its preacher for more than fifty years, was a well-known community activist with a radio ministry of several million listeners each week. He became disillusioned with Christian fundamentalism and adopted what he called "Christian Unitarianism," a type of liberal religious humanism. He organized his own church in 1912. The Peoples Church had become the largest non-sectarian church in the United States, and had joined with the American Unitarian Association. This new structure was called the Uptown Temple to "emphasize its relationship to that vast and teeming area of Chicago known as Uptown." Edgewater architecht J.E.O. Pridmore was selected to design the temple. The temple he created for the Peoples Church has, as Bradley put it, "none of the architectural trappings of bygone ecclesiastical attitudes. There is no tower, no medieval chancels and naves." Instead, the sanctuary was "an open room, airy, warm, inviting fellowship and the breezes of fresh ideas." Bradley chose not to have a pulpit, but instead spoke from a lectern. To one side was a bust of Abraham Lincoln, to the other a bust of the poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. Originally, above the choir, were written in gold the words of William Ellery Channing, "Live a life of faith and hope. Believe in the mighty power of truth and love." In 1959, a mural by the artist Louis Grell was painted below this quote--a spectacular landscape of mountains and lakes that stood for the abundant nature of God. The Peoples Church was the first church in Chicago, and one of the first in America, to regularly broadcast services. The first service was aired in 1924 over WQJ, and eventually the show moved to WLS. The radio ministry of Preston Bradley was the inspiration for the radio soap opera, and later daytime television show, Guiding Light. Bradley In many ways, was a man ahead of his time. He was suspended from Moody Bible Institute for smoking a cigar and being seen at a motion picture show, unseemly behavior for a future minister; he marched with Jane Addams to support women's rights; and he spoke loudly and openly against the Ku Klux Klan, which in the 1920s boasted more than a million members. His thoughts on religion and sexuality must have shocked the conservatives of his day, "I am old fashioned enough to believe in virginity and chastity before marriage," he wrote, "but I do not consider variations from that code to be sinful in the sense that God will inflict everlasting punishment... Sexual force and sexual desire are natural things." At its peak, Bradley's congregation had over 4,000 members. As is often the case in the history of Uptown, urban flight over the last fifty years caused membership to decrease dramatically, and the Peoples Church very nearly had to close its doors. Instead, it became affiliated with the United Church of Christ while still maintaining its ties to the Unitarian Universalist Association and today has a small but active congregation. The church now leases space to R.E.S.T. (Residents for Effective Shelter Transitions), the largest homeless shelter on the north side. There is a meals program which serves three meals every day to approximately 150 people in need, an annual Memorial Day Picnic for the homeless, and the Empti-Spoon Job Club which offers job-placement assistance to people who have faced difficult obstacles when searching for work.

First off - I'm a Presbyterian but not a member of Forth Presbyterian in Chicago. I was visiting…read moreFourth Presbyterian to attend a financial conference sponsored by the demoination. This was my first visit to Fourth Presbyterian. This is a beautiful OLD church with a beautiful NEW addition to the rear of the old section. The old section includes the sanctuary and many of the functions normally associated with a church. The newer section includes a number of meeting rooms, a chapel, a day care center and other services. Fourth Presbyterian has been part of downtown Chicago since the 1870's or 80's. It is a warm welcoming community.

Shortly before Christmas 2024, my daughter got us tickets to an Andrew Bird concert at the Fourth…read morePresbyterian Church, right in the heart of the Magnificent Mile. It was our first time attending an Andrew Bird show and our first time stepping inside the church--and we were impressed by both! Believe it or not, I had never heard of Andrew Bird before the concert. It turned out to be a wonderful evening with Bird and his small band playing incredibly beautiful music. I was especially impressed by his ability to sing and play multiple instruments at the same time, particularly the violin, and do it all so brilliantly! We enjoyed every song of the evening! The opening act, solo harpist Mary Lattimore, was a delightful surprise. Not only was her harp playing mesmerizing, but she also entertained us with humorous stories. I didn't realize she could do so much with a harp, mixing her recordings live to create complex and harmonious sounds on the spot. The church itself, in Gothic style, was stunning. The acoustics and lighting were beautiful, making it the perfect venue for the concert. Since the seating was in church pews without assigned spots, tickets were sold by section. To get the best seats, we had to wait outside in the cold, but it was totally worth it. We managed to snag seats in the front row of the VIP section! My daughter mentioned that tickets usually sell out in an instant when they're released, so we felt lucky. I definitely look forward to attending again next time!

A parking garage is across the street, but other than that it's a challenge, For safety I would not park off campus. My son swam in his conference meet the UAA. He swims for Washington University. Typically Emory, Chicago & WashU are the top programs in the country. The teams are competing in swim and dive. The facility lacks adequate spectator space for very large meets such as this. The pool is a 50 meter plus diving. It's a great pool and swims fast! The staff at the event over four days was excellent. Ticketing was handled well and the lines organized. They even had a coat check. My deduction of 1 star is the spectator area. Not only small, but the design is poor. Only the two front rows can see well. 3.5 rounding down.

I cannot rate the actual school. I've already completed undergrad and attended grad school at other…read moreuniversities. My rating is solely because I've been on a bunch of campuses for book signings, and it's ALWAYS super complicated to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B (including my own alma maters). I went to this location solely for a Red Cross blood donation drive. I love how their campus is set up. Not only did they have signs on the doors and a cone out front to figure out which building to get into, but as soon as I opened my mouth to ask a student where the building was, I turned and saw a clear map to find it on my own. (I was super close so she pointed me the rest of the way. Friendly young lady.) Since I can no longer find this location in upcoming blood drives, I'm assuming that Red Cross may not be there permanently. But the campus is clean. The front desk people (for the school) were professional. The two students (workers?) who were on the Red Cross side were organized and professional. And the attendees behind the tent were great too. I hope Loyola Rogers Park makes this a permanent thing. Although I walked, it's very convenient that it's accessible by the el. And it was nothing at all like all the complications I experienced at another facility trying to donate plasma. It took me longer to walk to the school than it did for the actual six-minute donation. Kudos to them for allowing Red Cross onto their campus.

I transferred to Loyola from Occidental College. From the moment I began at Loyola, I felt that the…read moreadministration barely even was aware of my existence. I was not given housing, financial aid, or any support with finding off campus housing near the school. When I started taking classes, I was appalled at the lack of quality among instructors. I had professors who would not show up to class, or would give me assignments that I could see they purchased online, because they hadn't taken out the name of the company or the teacher instructions. With class registration, I found academic advisors often gave me different answers, and it was a genuine challenge to see the same advisor twice. Currently, the course offerings are so slim in my major (business management) that it is hard to select a class schedule where even half of the classes are going towards my major. In summary, this is not a school for finishing your degree quickly or efficiently. It's the kind of institution where you'll have to take a lot of classes that feel pointless and random because they are. And those are the professors who are least likely to actually care about the quality of their instruction. You'll be in a cohort of students who don't seem to really give a damn. Most of my classes are filled with 80-85% of the students on their computers playing NYT games or watching youtube. Most of the classes I have taken have been lecture format, where a professor goes through slides at the front of a silent classroom. I've had many classes with 2 or 3 graded assignments in the entire semester. Most of my Professors don't give any feedback on homework or tests and certainly never return them, and so it's generally pretty difficult to know how to improve. On the student life side, the student body is incredibly cliquey and unwelcoming. After two and a half years at the organization, I know 0 fellow Loyola students by name. I do not recommend transferring here. I really regret it. This school knows how to put lipstick on the pig, but it is far from a premier institution. If you're looking in Chicago, Loyola presents the worst ratio of cost/value of education. Look elsewhere!!
