Learn about the history of this 100-year-old northwest side parish with a talk and tour.

Founded in 1914 when the Portage Park neighborhood was mostly prairies and mud with a few homes thrown in. We explore the buildings of the parish talking about their changing uses and explain the many symbols that adorn our Church. There is also a display of pictures and a few artifacts from the parish's history on display as well. Also available is our book "From Prairie to Parish: The first 100 years of St. Pascal Church". 224 pages of the history of the parish and the neighborhood that it grew with.

There is a five dollar donation at the door to St. Pascal Church.
