    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 going to this church since I was a kid. It is a welcoming and loving place. My great…read moregrandparents were helpful in supporting the creation of the church and participated in craft shows as well. Many good memories and still currently visiting.

    The food festival here has the best tiropites I've had outside of Greece itself, and I've had…read moretiropites made by the very BEST yiayias around. (Hey, that's saying a LOT in terms of Greek compliments -- believe me!) I wish the festival had had koulourakia (sp.?), but no such luck the day I went. Simply terrific by anyone's standards -- Greek or not!

    I attended the OPA Fest today and I am so glad I did. Homemade (again, homemade) Greek food that…read morewas just so good, I left there stuffed. 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!
