George Cardinal Mundelein

“But after all, for us Catholics…a church….is more that just an ordinary spacious attractive meeting house.  It is even more than just a house of prayer.  It is the place for us where the living Presence of the Godhead dwells, it is the great audience chamber where the God made Flesh and Dwelt Among us is here constantly, here ready for you at all times, to listen to your prayers and your petitions.  It is the one place, the one spot perhaps for each of us that is intimately connected with the most important, the greatest events of our lives.”

- George Cardinal Mundelein, Archbishop of Chicago, 1939
