ABOUT THE PARISH
A Little About the Parish
St. Ferdinand is made up of numerous ethnic groups, each with it's own unique culture and traditions. We believe diversity should be celebrated by highlighting each group and it's own special identity. For the past several years we have been able to provide a growing number of activities and programs to celebrate both the diversity of our parish families and our unity in faith. Currently, we celebrate eleven Masses each weekend in three languages: English, Polish, and Italian.
A Little About our Patron
Saint Ferdinand
St. Ferdinand
Saint Ferdinand Catholic Community is dedicated to our patron Saint Ferdinand of Castile (c. 1199 -1252). A wise ruler and an excellent administrator, Ferdinand III was known as "the Bull" from which our parish athletic teams derive their nickname. Saint Ferdinand became the king of Castile at the age of 18, and then, after the death of his father, assumed the kingship of Seville, where he governed for twenty years. He died on May 30 and was buried in the habit of a friar minor at the Cathedral of Seville; he was canonized in 1671. During his life, Saint Ferdinand lead and defended his people, built up the Church, and achieved peace among various factions. His life and work serves as a daily reminder to us to be united with one another in building up the Kingdom of God here on the northwest side of Chicago.
Saint Ferdinand is know as the patron saint of soldiers.

At the conclusion of our parish's 75th Anniversary, a statue of our patron was commissioned and dedicated. The Saint Ferdinand Statue and Garden are located on Mason Avenue at the northwest side of our parish property.
