Mass at Old St. Pat’s

Welcome to Old St. Patrick’s Church! Since 1846, members of Old St. Pat’s have gathered to celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ amidst the rich diversity of Chicago. Gathering for Eucharist is our common way to be fed, nourished, and sent into the world to become what we receive. 
​

Our liturgical worship is shaped by shared commitment to hospitality, beauty, and kinship. We invite you to join any of our Masses!
Sunday Mass at Old St. Patrick’s
  • 7 am 
    • Old St. Patrick’s 7am Mass provides a reverent, contemplative experience of worship. With no music, this Mass invites us into the quiet beauty of common prayer.
​
  • 9 am (Livestream) & 11 am​
    • Our 9 am and 11 am Masses are the best attended at Old St Pat’s. At these Masses and at our evening Masses, a choir of professional vocalists and committed volunteers, together with skilled instrumentalists, leads our community in song. After Mass, join us on Desplaines Street or in Fellowship Hall (weather dependent) for donuts, coffee, and further community-building. Click here to learn more about the different offerings at 9 am Mass.
​
  • 5 pm
    • ​While adults under 40 attend each of our Masses, the 5 pm Mass is where many young adults find a home. Old St. Pat’s Encounter Young Adult Small Groups meet immediately before and after this Mass. The second Sunday of each month, Encounter invites all young adults to Grapes and Grace after the 5 pm Mass: a casual social with (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) drinks, fruit, and cheese. The 5 pm Mass, like the 9 am Mass, is livestreamed to members worldwide.
​​
  • 8 pm
    • ​​Old St. Patrick’s 8 pm Mass is the latest Sunday Mass offered in downtown Chicago, making it popular with shift workers. With lower lighting and fewer music ministers, the 8 pm Mass provides a restful conclusion to the weekend. Join us to center yourself in the peace of our loving God before entering into a new week. ​​

Throughout the year, we celebrate, bless, and honor the diverse community who gather for Mass at Old St. Pat's. We gather together at the Special Friends Mass and Mass of Remembrance and on Mother's Day and Father's Day. During Mass, we bless couples preparing for marriage, those touched by Adoption, Marathon runners, and more. Information about Masses will be available in the Crossroads Bulletin and in the weekly “This Week in the Old St. Pat’s Community” email newsletter.

9 am Church Mass (Livestream)
Our 9 am worshiping community includes thousands of people across the globe who join our prayer via livestream. During the school year, this Mass is especially popular among families with young children and offers Children’s Liturgy of the Word for 3-year-olds to 2nd graders on the first three Sundays of the month. 

​9 am Family Mass
​(Monthly, September through April)

Old St Pat’s Family Masses help us see and hear what is always true: that children and teens are not just the future of our Church, but are the Body of Christ today. Our monthly Family Masses are held at 9 am in the main church, generally on the third Sunday of the month.

During these Masses, young members of our community from Foundations Youth Ministry, the Frances Xavier Warde School, and Partners Religious Ed Program serve as liturgical ministers (ministers of hospitality, lectors, and Eucharistic ministers) and the Youth Choir leads us in song. Expect a full and lively church on these days, and consider arriving early!


9 am Hughes Hall Mass
(Twice monthly, September through April)

From September through April, our thriving Partners Religious Education Program and Foundations Youth Ministry mean that our community needs more space than the church alone provides. On these weekends, we offer Mass in two locations: upstairs in the main church and downstairs in Hughes Hall (accessible from Adams Street via stairs and from Desplaines Street via stairs and elevator).

​Old St. Pat’s renowned music ministry supports our prayer in both locations. In Hughes Hall, we invite you to note the beautiful Stations of the Cross paintings that were commissioned during the renovation of the church and the new altar table recently donated by the Old St. Pat’s Men’s Group.

Weekday Mass at Old St. Patrick’s
Mass is offered Monday through Friday at 12:10 pm. On Wednesday, the 12:10 Mass is livestreamed and the Sacrament of Reconciliation is available at 11:30 am.
Holidays and Holy Days at Old St. Patrick’s
Information about Mass on Holidays and Holy Days of Obligation will be available on our homepage, in the Crossroads Bulletin, and in the weekly “This Week in the Old St. Pat’s Community” email newsletter.

  • Eucharistic ministers are happy to bring communion to the pew for anyone with mobility concerns. Please speak with a hospitality minister when you arrive.
  • Service animals trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of persons with disabilities are welcome at all Masses. Pets and companion animals that provide emotional comfort but do not perform specific tasks are not permitted in Old St. Patrick's buildings.
  • As we seek to be more flexible to the various and shifting needs of the Deaf community of Old St. Patrick’s, we are providing interpreters by request. We welcome your requests for a sign language interpreter at the 9 a.m. or 5 p.m. Mass on Sundays, as well as for holidays and holy days of obligation. To ensure we are able to schedule an interpreter, please provide one week of advance notice. ​To request access, please contact Dominic Trumfio at [email protected].

​Hospitality ministers, staff, and campus security can be easily identified by their Old St. Pat’s name badges, and are happy to provide any additional assistance!


Members Speak: What Draws Us to Mass at Old St. Patrick’s

“As a retired teacher, I find the sermons well grounded in historical theology and hermeneutics and highly relevant to our world today.” 
​(Richard, St. John, Indiana)


“Old St. Pat's feels like home in my heart and soul the minute I ascend the stairs and enter the church.” (Wendy, Glenview, Illinois)
