St. Joseph (icsj) is amazing

5/5 star parish. ICSJ and Fr. Larry Lisowski were our favorite part of our wedding day. This is a very special parish. They were easy to work with and flexible. I have seen young adults come into ICSJ and reconnect with their faith. Fr. Larry gives a fun, vibrant twist to Mass that is refreshing. Not to mention the music is fabulous, and St. Joe's is beautiful inside.

Best Church for a Wedding in Chicago!

Such a beautiful church full of wonderful people! The marriage process was made so easy from planning to the ceremony- we felt supported and excited throughout the process. Father Larry is so down to earth, communicative, and positive. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the ceremony was and how it was so personalized to celebrate our marriage. We cannot recommend ICSJ parish enough!

St Joseph’s Church, wedding review

I cannot recommend enough getting married at St. Joseph’s. We were so thrilled with the experience here. Father Larry is an incredible priest who takes the time to personalize the ceremony. Our guests could not stop talking about how great he was! This church feels like home and we have become parishioners since going through the marriage process here 😊

August Wedding

Fr. Larry and the entire ICSJ team were excellent! The pre-wedding process was smooth and simple. Fr. Larry was a calming presence throughout the process and delivered an excellent ceremony. We would highly recommend ICSJ as a great option for any couples looking for a beautiful church and service.

Wedding Review

My wife and I got married at ICSJ and had such a great experience. The wedding ministry team was super helpful from the start and made the whole process really easy. They were always quick to answer our questions and guided us through everything so we felt prepared and relaxed on the big day.

The ceremony itself was beautiful and really personal from Father Larry Lisowski. A lot of our guests told us afterwards how much they loved the church and how meaningful the Mass felt.

If you’re looking for a parish to get married at, we definitely recommend ICSJ. It was the perfect place for us and we’re so grateful for the experience!

Dream Wedding

We couldn’t recommend ICSJ more to get married. The entire staff is extremely helpful with getting you ready for your big day AND Father Larry is incredible. He got to know both of us the year before we married and made our wedding day personal. Many of our guests commented how funny and personal our mass was. We also added additional musicians from the church and it made our mass that much more special. Such a talented group. I had high expectations and ICSJ exceeded them! Highly recommend.

The staff were wonderfully supportive and made the entire process seamless. Our ceremony was beautifully conducted, and many guests commented on how lovely the venue was and how wonderful Father Larry is. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting to start our new life together. Highly recommend!

Best Wedding Experience

We had a beautiful wedding at St Joseph’s. Kevin, the wedding coordinator, was so helpful and responsive to all of our questions. Truly the most professional. Father Larry’s service was fantastic, every guest we spoke to after raved about the sermon and overall entire service. Could not recommend this church more, it was the best possible experience!
