"Along the frenetic Kennedy Expressway, in the heart of Chicago, St. Stanislaus Kostka Church/the Sanctuary of The Divine Mercy, stands as a sign of contradiction, a light to the world, an oasis of life-giving water calling all of God's people to find peace by turning with trust to The Divine Mercy." ~Fr. Anthony Bus, C. R., pastor
My family and I were blessed to pay a visit St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish/the Sanctuary of The Divine Mercy and home of the world's largest monstrance, Our Lady of the Sign-Ark of Mercy in Chicago. It was a gorgeous, gorgeous church! We were greeted at the door by a woman who was mopping the floor. She was so friendly and welcoming and invited us to come back anytime. The church is open 24/7 for Eucharistic Adoration. We will be sure to take her up on her kind offer the next time we are in Chicago.

| The breathtaking frescoes look like they need some care as the paint is showing signs of peeling. |

| Of course, pictures don't do justice to the beauty of the church. |
 |
| Adoration is in a side chapel within the main church. |
 |
| Here I am praying for your intentions. |

| The image of the Divine Mercy can be seen just beyond the monstrance. Jesus, I trust in you! |
