Welcome to Our Parish!

The Orthodox Church humbly, yet confidently professes to be the Church of Christ, founded on the apostolic witness to our Lord, born on the Day of Pentecost, and for 2,000 years making known to men, women, and children the path to salvation through repentance and faith in Christ.

We are a unique community, made up of people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Christ the Savior also serves as the chapel for His Eminence Archbishop Job. Our parish is youthful and energetic. We delight in exercising hospitality towards all who enter our doors — whether they’re stopping in during a weekend trip to Chicago, rediscovering the faith after many long years, or learning about Jesus Christ and the Orthodox Church for the very first time.

Consecration Update: Parking Announced for Consecration
Valet parking will be available on Saturday, May 17th for the consecration of our parish. Guests are asked to park their cars at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church at 1015 N. LaSalle. The parking lot is approximatly 200 yards north from our parish. Those who are not capable of walking, can have their cars taken for them from our church to the parking lot.

Two points of interest for those who will be using the parking lot at Annuciation Church:
1) There is no fee for the parking, however, you will be expected to tip the lot attendant.
2) There is no valet parking at Maggiano's Banquet Hall. Those who will be attending the
banquet following the mornings services should plan on either walking or taking a cab to
and from Maggiano's.

Consecration Update
The deadline to sponsor a page in the commemorative booklet is April 20. We inadvertently forgot to include that date on the sponsorship forms that were mailed a few weeks ago. Please help spread the word regarding the April 20 deadline. Also, please remember that this is the only fundraiser that we are having for the Consecration (indeed, the only fundraiser that our Parish has at all), so please consider sponsoring a page or soliciting a few additional sponsors if you haven't already. Completed sponsorship forms and checks can be mailed to Deb Janos, 6011 North Olympia, Chicago, IL 60631. Please make checks payable to Christ the Savior Orthodox Church. If you need additional copies of the sponsorship form, a blank copy is attached to this email.


Please remember when you complete your RSVP card for the banquet that there are no tickets being mailed. Instead, your name will be included on a list with your table assignment when you arrive at Maggiano's for the banquet. If there are certain individuals with whom you would like to sit during the banquet, you can list those individuals on the RSVP card (or email me at tpanoff@mayerbrown.com if you have already mailed your RSVP card). Please keep in mind, however, that while we will try to accommodate seating requests, there are no guarantees. Part of the beauty of this event is that it will help to develop our Church community. Accordingly, if we are unable to accommodate all of your seating requests, please view this as an opportunity to get to know someone who you may not already know and as a chance to build an even stronger Parish and greater-Orthodox community.
The Consecration Committee appreciates your help and understanding with these two items and we look forward to seeing you the weekend of the Consecration, May 16-18.

A Word from the Holy Fathers:
Set your mind on following the path of the saints. Prefer a simple style of life; wear unremarkable clothes. Eat simple food; behave in an unaffected manner. Do not strut about as if you were important. Speak from your heart. 
~Abba Philemon
