Virtual Prayer Candle Lighting

Light a Prayer Candle For You – From Anywhere

Lighting a candle for your family and friends, or for a personal prayer is an important Catholic tradition. We know many of you may not be able to come to the Cathedral to light the candle yourself. It would be our honor to have one of our resident priests light the Cathedral Prayer Candle on your behalf. Click on the button below to complete the request form.

Holy Name Cathedral Courtyard

The Cathedral’s Courtyard is a place for gathering, prayerful reflection, and tranquility in the middle of Chicago’s bustling River North community. Our courtyard features a private Marian Shrine where the faithful say prayers to the Blessed Virgin and leave offerings of flowers. In addition to the shrine, lush greenery outlines the courtyard space and a meditation garden welcomes quiet thoughts in an urban environment.

Commemorative special event, honor a loved one, or celebrate a family member of a friend’s wedding, baptism, anniversary or other milestone through a purchase of a paver in the Cathedral Courtyard.
