I visited during Open House Chicago. The details in this church...fro. the wood statues, iron work before the alter and that this was the first church rebuilt in this area after the Chicago fire. Thank you for the pipe organ demonstration...angelic soothing music. Incredible acoustics.
Beautiful church. People are my second family and have embraced me as their own so quickly. It has been an amazing church. Very high church setting yet open and accepting.
The liturgy is very well done here, and the music is excellent classical and church music. The pipe organ here is also extremely good for the size of the church, and is just finishing up being refurbished.
Gorgeous music and liturgy, traditional high-church/Anglo-Catholic service. Sermons blend Biblical and literary scholarship and with applications to contemporary life. A warm, if somewhat formal, congregation. Congregation is multi-age, multi-race, multi-socioecomic class (at least as regards a typical Episcopal parish)
Beautiful church and wonderful music. Come hear some of the best singers in Chicago at the 11 am mass on Sundays.
Beautiful church with very high Anglo Catholic liturgy. Warm and welcoming parish. We dont live in Chicago, but if we did, this is where we would attend. We hope to return next time we are in Chicago.
Wonderful welcoming traditional service but very diverse!
Because is very nice people there
Been a member here for 12 years and have been blessed, challenged, taught, deepened, upheld, supported, valued, and loved, by God through his people my fellow parishioners. Fullest expression of Catholic spirituality in the Anglican tradition. Daily Morning Prayer, Mass, and Evening Prayer. Superb choir and organist. Excellent clergy and preaching. On Sundays, a booklet is provided giving everything you need to follow the service and participate at whatever level you wish. Sunday services at 8, 9, and 11 a.m.
Such a beautiful church most see from inside ...
Beautiful worship in every sense
Only feed the birds outside see that they feed poor people & peole of middle income
Very moving service. A full sensory experience with music, incense, chanting and ceremony.
High Mass every Sunday.
Having undergone a tumultuous and very difficult time, it appears that Church of the Ascension is returning to its roots as an exceptional Episcopalian parish, with a strong beautiful music program.
