Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church, Chicago
Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church is one of the oldest churches in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 1868.〔O'Toole, James M. ''The Faithful: A History of Catholics in America'', Harvard University Press, pg. 103, 2008.〕 The church was designed by noted architect Patrick Keely, an architectural designer prominent throughout the 19th century. He also designed Holy Name Cathedral in downtown Chicago.〔
Nativity of Our Lord Parish is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago and is located in the city's Bridgeport neighborhood. Prominent church members include former Chicago Mayors Richard J. Daley and Richard M. Daley, as well as William M. Daley, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce and Chief of Staff for the Obama Administration, and former State Senator and Representative and current Cook County Commissioner John P. Daley.〔Cohen, Adam and Taylor, Elizabeth. ''American Pharaoh: Mayor Richard J. Daley — His Battle for Chicago and the Nation'', Little, Brown & Company, pg. 1, 2000.〕
== Historical background ==
Nativity of Our Lord Parish was founded in 1868, to serve Irish Catholics who lived near the Union Stockyards.〔Andreas, Alfred Theadore. ''History of Chicago, Volume 3'', Chicago, IL: The A T Andreas Company Publishers, pg. 776, 1886.〕 Bishop Thomas Foley appointed Rev. Michael Lyons to organize the new parish. Father Lyons purchased the J. McPherson Livery Stables at the northeast corner of Halsted and Egan (39th Street)...which was at that time the southern border of the City of Chicago. The new parish was appropriately named "Nativity Church," since Christ was also born in a stable. It was dedicated on Palm Sunday, April 5, 1868.〔Flaherty, Reverend James J. ''Souvenir Book, Golden Jubilee'' Mission Press, pg. 10, 1919.〕 The parish grew and Rev. Jeremiah S. O'Neill was named to succeed Father Lyons. With the support of the parish, he acquired 15 lots at the corner of 37th and Dashiel (now Union Avenue) to construct the present church.〔O'Brien, Reverend Edward P. ''Nativity of Our Lord Centennial Celebration'', Chicago, IL: Allied Press, pg. 39, 1979.〕
In 1874, Reverend Joseph M. Cartan was named pastor and quickly set about the work of building a greater parish and improving the lives of those who lived in Bridgeport. Father Cartan laid the cornerstone for the current church in 1876. Construction continued at a slow and steady pace. It was not until almost three years later that the lower church hall was finished sufficiently to hold services. On December 5, 1885, over nine years after the cornerstone was laid, Archbishop Patrick Feehan dedicated Nativity of Our Lord Church. It was not until the following summer that decorating and final construction details were completed. The cost of the church was reported at $70,000.〔Ed. by Rev. Msgr. Harry C. Koenig, S.T.D. ''A History of the Parishes of Archdiocese of Chicago'', Chicago, IL: The New World Publishing Company, pp. 654 - 656, 1981.〕
