 Welcome to the website of Christ the Savior Parish. Our parish family is made up of people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Many of the faithful have converted to Orthodoxy from other religious faiths. Our parish is youthful and energetic. We delight in exercising hospitality towards all who enter our doors — whether they’re stopping in during a weekend trip to Chicago, rediscovering the faith after many long years, or learning about Jesus Christ and the Orthodox Church for the very first time.
The Orthodox Church humbly, yet confidently professes to be the Church of Christ, founded on the apostolic witness to our Lord, born on the Day of Pentecost, and for 2,000 years making known to men, women, and children the path to salvation through repentance and faith in Christ.

Announcements
| | Revised Parking Policy On Sundays, the front parking spaces will be reserved for visitors. the four back spaces are available for the use of parishioners, but parishioners are asked not to habitually park in the back, so that the same parishioners are not consistently parking there. Please keep in mind that there are only four parking spaces in the back, and that diagonal and double parking is not allowed. Additional parking is available at Dave & Buster's on Clark Street. Parking passes cost $5 for three hours; parishioners must purchase a book of 10 passes.
|
| | Special Intentions and Announcements Following Liturgy There is a sheet on the candle desk to list any special intentions for prayers during the Liturgy or announcements you would like made following Liturgy, including milestones for singing Many Years (names-days, birthdays, anniversaries etc.). The lists are given to Fr. John before "Blessed is the Kingdom" and only items on the list will be mentioned that week. Please don’t send requests to Fr. John by email - he will most likely forget or misplace them in his Sunday morning rush
