As of recent news the Catholic Church hasn't been held in the highest of regards with everything in…read morethe media. I was raised catholic and do noT go to church and do not make communion just because. In the past 20 years I've been to church twice and that was because this church is the real deal and Father Stan is a man amongst men and a priest that I would be proud to call mine. My child made her first confession and first communion within the past week. The way father Stan talks to this congregation and makes eye contact with his parishioners is so very much modern and not like the old timers where it's all Jesus and Mary this and Moses and Noah that. Today he pulled out a toy gas station and used analogies in which I instantly fell in love with. I would love to be an everyday catholic again and attend church again every Sunday as long as this guy is at the helm but alas I work sundays and I work extremely long hours but I promise to try and attend at least couple times a year

This is a lovely Catholic church in Burbank, IL. It was built in a day when each denomination built…read moretheir own place for worshiping...the first thing immigrants usually did was form their own parish community. Thus you would have a Polish church just down the street from an Irish faith community. While the nationalities have blurred a bit, this is still a wonderful church. This parish community was started in 1949, with this church building going up in the 1960s. The community now is primarily Polish and Hispanic. We were here for a Friday fish fry which is held in the huge basement cafeteria and meeting hall. Since the parish community also has a couple of schools (a regular grade school and a Polish grade school), there are a lot of youngsters to feed each day and they use this space. We usually go fish fry spelunking in Lent, and this fish fry was the best one we have ever been to. If you visit you'll see the fish being soaked in milk, hand-breaded, and fried just before it hits your plate. Generous portions, good sides, a great baked potato, an inexpensive bar for those that imbibe, and many volunteers working the fry so all is clean and ready. Wonderful 5-star fish fry, and one they hold every Friday during Lent except Good Friday. Regarding the church, it was a beautiful space as seen in the attached pictures. The serenity and beauty of the facility is really warm and welcoming. This is a pie-shaped church...with rows of pews all curved in a semi-circle and facing the altar. Beautiful church furnishings...from the statues to the altar. Give this place a try one day when you seek some comfort and support.

I have been to church food festivals/carnivals before and this by far impressed me. Everything, including the desserts were all homemade (I'm still in shock). The servers, everyone, spoke Greek and they all looked so happy and having a great time. Let's see, they had the typical shish-kabob, gyros, Grecian chicken, and Greek salad. Aside from that, they had: Saganki (flaming cheese), Tiropites (Cheese pie), spanakopita (spinach pie), and Pastichio (Greek lasagna). Desserts- baklava, diples, galaktobouriko, kourambiedes, loukoumades, or a variety plate. Of course they had Greek wine and liquor, Greek coffee, and a lot more. As typical in a carnival, there was music, dancing, merchants selling jewelery and other accessories, raffles, rides, etc. $2 per adult; 12 and under free; food can be purchased with credit card. Tomorrow they are open from 3pm-10pm. I'm so glad I can get Greek food without having to go to the city. Though I think I need to make a friend out of a Greek grandmother so I can be spoiled with some more home cooking!
