@chicagiensis: Modeled on California’s Santa Barbara Mission Saint Margaret Mary Catholic Church Holy Child Jesus Parish West Ridge, Chicago -Parish established in 1921 to serve Irish and Luxembourger Catholics on the Far North Side of Chicago -Designed by Joseph McCarthy in the Spanish mission style -Built in 1938 - wood-framed ceiling, the white-washed walls, the little bell towers on the church’s facade -Lined with stained glass depicting the life of Jesus and Mary, with one of St. Margaret Mary and the Sacred Heart and one depicting a soldier and sailor, since the founding pastor was a WWI chaplain Sanctuary centered on beautiful depiction of the Crucifixion, flanked by marble statues of Mary and Joseph -Devotional artwork depicts Our Lady of La Vang, Our Lady of Luxembourg, Our Lady of Prayer, St. Henry, St. Timothy (a tapestry designed by Stadelmaier in the Netherlands), and Our Lady of Guadalupe. -St. Margaret Mary School merged with other North Side parishes to form one school called North Side Catholic Academy, operating out of Edgewater’s St. Gertrude. In 2020, St. Margaret Mary merged with West Ridge parishes of St. Henry and St. Timothy, renaming their united parish Holy Child Jesus, with Margaret Mary becoming the main worship site. St. Timothy was at 6326 N Washtenaw in West Ridge, founded in 1925 to initially serve Irish, though it largely served Indians and Filipinos as of late. Its school closed in 1993, and the church site is no longer used for worship, and the former school was sold to an Orthodox Jewish school. I am not positive if that includes other aspects of the campus. St. Henry was founded in 1851 to serve German and Luxembourger Catholics, originally housed in the church where Bl. Aloysius Croatian Mission now is. The latest St. Henry was in a combined school-church building designed by Henry Schlacks. at 6335 N Hoyne in West Ridge. The school closed in 1994, and the church is no longer used for worship. I am not sure the status of the building.
