Bio
In 1905 Archbishop James Edward Quigley asked Father John De Schryver, SJ., a professor at St. Ignatius College, to organize a parish for the Belgian community in Chicago. Named for the patron saint of young people, students and altar servers, St. John Berchmans Parish (SJB) was established on September 3, 1905. In 1907 the school was started by the Dominican Sisters of Kentucky. On October 16, 2005, after one hundred years in Logan Square, the parish celebrated its centennial and in 2007 the school celebrated is centennial as well.
Following our parish motto that “All are welcome”, St. John Berchmans prides itself on its growing and diverse community. With a bilingual campus in the Logan Square neighborhood, we work hard at ensuring that all feel welcome stepping through the doors of the church and worshipping with the parish.
Parish: We work hard at ensuring that all feel welcome when stepping through the doors of the church and worshipping with the parish. In addition to weekday and Sunday worship, there are many opportunities to get involved around the parish community and connect with our dedicated priests, deacons, staff, volunteers, and parishioners.
School: St. John Berchmans Catholic School embraces the teaching mission of Jesus Christ, provides a safe, welcoming learning environment that nurtures individual gifts, challenges minds, respects diversity and develops the whole child spiritually, socially, intellectually, emotionally and physically.
