Beautiful church, architecture is iconic. Great location, great service, great clergy. I wanted to see it because of how it was described in a book I'd read. I showed up, and waited for a wedding that was wrapping up. Parking lot was small, but it was easy to stay out of the way. Nobody minded me unobtrusively taking pictures of the angels outside, or the magnificent interior, that had apparently just gotten some renovations. The exterior was under construction at the time, restoring some of the buttresses.

This is a lovely church near downtown with convenient and free parking. It has the feel of the old school beautiful churches with gorgeous art and attention to details. Everything in the church is impressive and it’s peaceful to pray. It’s especially convenient that the sacraments are offered very frequently here and that the priests are faithful and helpful in confession. God bless this parish and community.

I've been a teacher at Saint Mary of the Angels School for two years and absolutely love my job! The school environment is always welcoming and friendly. I strongly encourage my friends to send their children to our amazing school! I feel that I work among other teachers who truly care about each child and have their best interest at heart, academically, socially, and emotionally!

Have been going to this church 30+ years. I have seen it go thru several renovations and the results are beautiful. Me and my 3 siblings did our baptism, communion and confirmation. Services are done in Polish, English and Spanish. Always a positive atmosphere. They do have a website with more information.

My family has been part of the SMA community for 6 years and we love the school. We have 4 children and they feel SMA as their 2nd home, they love going to school, they love their teachers and their friends. SMA is the best option for a Catholic education. Children have the opportunity to go to Mass every Friday and to go to Confession every week if needed. The values taught from the Principal, Priests and teachers are according to the Catholic Church teachings, and they really care for each student as a whole person. My children participate in the annual play, community service, sports club, basketball, and volleyball. SMA also has a wonderful coding and Spanish/Latin program where the students are preparing well for High School. If you are looking for a Catholic education with a great academic level, and a wonderful community... St. Mary of the Angels School is your best option!

Came to a Quinceanera ( fifteen birthday celebration) and the mass was very nice. The church looks great from outside as well as for inside. It was also nice to take pictures in front of the church since it has very large pillars. There are two angels as you come in the church and you feel welcomed. Many nice paintings all around and statues.

The most beautiful church in the Midwest. Absolutely stunning.

Our family loved St. Mary of the Angles. This church is truly beautiful and magnificent both inside and out. We're so blessed to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and renewal of our marriage vow here...a dream come true.

We've been at SMA for the past three years. My first impression from my initial tour as a prospective parent is the same as I have today; from the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted by children who are kind and respectful. They open doors and say hello or good morning without being prompted. This happens to be part of the SMA core values that you can see are taken seriously. Our daughter has grown socially, academically and spiritually with the support of the dedicated teachers at SMA. As a parent, I always feel like my questions are taken seriously and attended to promptly by the teachers, principal and support staff. The class sizes are small compared to CPS and therefore the teacher can spend more time with each individual student. We've made amazing family friends that we know will be in our lives for years to come; it's a welcoming community that we are happy to have joined.

It is such a big beautiful church.

After living in Bucktown for nearly 15 years, I know there is no better place than SMA to send my children. From the dynamic, engaged preschool program all the way up to the rigorous, active-learning environments of middle and upper school classes, SMA is the best place to know that my children are developing academically, socially, and spiritually. We wanted a school that would welcome our children, not as just another number or test score, but really embrace them. Thankfully we found what we were looking for right in our own neighborhood. From the staff to the teachers to the administrators to the community of parents, SMA is a special place.

We love St Mary of The Angels School! The teachers and staff are really nice. The teachers are very dedicated to their students. They have a wonderful and nurturing Pre-K program. They also have before and aftercare. I love that they have incorporated STEM at SMA. My daughter looks forward to seeing Ms. Baatile (Science teacher). Children love STEM. The parents are very involved in the school. For example, book fairs, fund raising, and all the other activities. The only way for our school and community to be successful is to become involved. Everyone knows each other there. The majority of the children that attend SMA have been together since Pre-K. Children receive the academics education as well as the spiritual. We love being at SMA! They are our second family!

So we have had 2 Baptisms here and it's a beautiful Catholic church inside, they have been renovating the exterior of the building for some time. The stain glass work was remarkable and the marble is in really good shape for the age of the church. The could update the restrooms a bit,but still very nice.The Baptism took place after service and they must had held some programs for pets & owners because we seen many people outside with dogs and one thing I didn't like was they were allowing the pets to go on property and many didn't clean up after them which I thought was very disrespectful. This is still a wonderful church for mass in English& Spanish and look forward to next events.

Beautiful Renaissance style Catholic Church. Free parking. Must visit

Absolutely beautiful. The priests could not have been friendlier. Definitely will go again

Teachers are second to none. Extremely driven personable. Of note,THIS SCHOOL IS ON ITS WAY TO BEING A BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL. Test scores are awesome and the teachers ensure each student is learning, every day. Class sizes are perfect. Not tiny and not huge like public schools. So many welcoming families and the environment is amazing :) like a second home to this mom, who has moved many times since the birth of my children. Principal is very attentive and involved. Every staff member knows my children. Amazing environment.
