Holy Trinity Cathedral is located at 1121 North Leavitt Street in Chicago’s East Ukrainian Village neighborhood. It was designed by renowned architect Louis Sullivan and the cornerstone was laid in 1902. It was consecrated by Bishop Tithonus in March of 1903. Holy Trinity was designated a cathedral in 1923 and in 1976, the Cathedral and rectory were listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and received official designation as a Chicago Landmark in 1979. Holy Trinity holds the honor of being the first Orthodox community in Chicago. Holy Trinity offers many community programs such as education and meals. And the church flyer says, “Everyone is invited and welcome to be a part of this parish family.” I took a tour of the Cathedral with Grace. It is a beautiful church and Grace was very welcoming and knowledgeable!
Great pictures. I love the stained glass windows and the art work. I would like to see the church sometime. It looked very beautiful and peaceful at the same.
Thanks. It is exactly that…….both beautiful and peaceful! We’ll go there sometime. I’ll check the hours. It’s right off Division near the Polish restaurant.
