St. Peregrine shrine offers solace to those with cancer
For over 25 years, pilgrims from the Chicago area and beyond have visited Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica, 3121 W. Jackson Blvd., to pray for the intercession of St. Peregrine, the patron saint of cancer patients. Worshippers visited the shrine for its monthly healing Mass on July 20, 2019.
