Church of the Immaculate Conception (Chicago)

The Church of the Immaculate Conception, referred to in Polish as Kościół Niepokalanego Poczęcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny, is a historic church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago located at 2944 East 88th Street in Chicago, Illinois.

It is a prime example of the so-called 'Polish Cathedral style' of churches in both its opulence and grand scale.

Along with St. Michael's, it is one of the two monumental Polish churches dominating the South Chicago skyline.

Founded in 1882 as a Polish parish, Immaculate Conception was the first Polish parish in the working-class steel mill district of South Chicago, but it was divided three times to form the Polish parishes of St. Michael the Archangel, St. Bronislava and St. Mary Magdalene.

It reopened in 1998 under the direction of the Daughters of Mary Immaculate of Guadalupe.
