Renovated school rededicated as outreach center in West Humboldt Park
The former Our Lady of the Angels School, the site of a tragic fire that killed 92 students and three religious sisters on Dec. 1, 1958, was blessed and rededicated an outreach center for the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels on Oct. 2, 2022. Cardinal Cupich celebrated Mass and blessed the building. The three-story, 70,000-square-foot building will be used to accommodate a weekly food pantry, ground-level storage for donations, a new kitchen and dining room, a chapel for perpetual adoration, offices and classroom space for neighborhood programs for adults and a new 45-bedroom volunteer residence and retreat space.
