  There are five masses a day during the week, weekly vigil services, and several Sunday services. The sanctuary is open all day for anyone to go in to pray or to simply sit quietly. It's a very solemn, reverent, peaceful atmosphere, which provides a comforting alternative to the hustle and bustle outside.

  I was in town for the 2016 Chicago Marathon and needed to attend mass, so I went to the 5:15PM Saturday vigil mass since Sunday morning would not be an option. I was not expecting anything special at the mass, as when I attended other masses the night before other marathons that I have run, nothing special occurred and nothing at all was mentioned about the races. To my surprise and delight, the priest welcomed all of the marathon runners to Chicago and even invited us to come up on the altar after the homily for a special blessing, and then they gave us a very nice blessed wrist band with a bible verse to wear during the race, which is exactly what I did. I was shocked at the number of marathoners at the mass who stepped up for the blessing.
  
  The homily was also very good, which intertwined religion with the race. The celebrating priest noted that we would pass through 29 neighborhoods and pass through the hospital district, and the patients would likely be looking at us from the hospital windows wishing they could give anything to trade places with us...I never thought of it that way, which gave me something to think about both during the mass and while running the race.
  
  After the mass, the Rector, who concelebrated the mass, greeted everybody individually, and was very friendly. There was also another concelebrating priest who planned to run the race as well. There was also a spaghetti dinner fundraiser right after the mass. Overall, Holy Name Cathedral made my visit to Chicago for the marathon very special and memorable.
  
  The location is also very convenient, as it is just across street from the Chicago train station on the red line.
  
  I highly recommend Holy Name Cathdral, and will definitely return the next time I come to Chicago.

  Just a short walk off of The Magnificent Mile. The detour is worth it for the impressive ceiling wooden.
