St. Hyacinth Basilica, formally the Basilica of St. Hyacinth, ((ポーランド語:Bazylika Świętego Jacka)) - historic church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, located at 3636 West Wolfram Street in Chicago, Illinois. It is a prime example of the so-called "Polish Cathedral style" of churches in both its opulence and grand scale. Along with such monumental religious edifices as St. Mary of the Angels, St. Hedwig's, and St. Wenceslaus, it is one of the many Polish churches that dominate over the Kennedy Expressway at 3636 West Wolfram Avenue. ==History== Founded in 1894 as a Polish parish, the parish became the center for what came to be referred to as Jackowo, the ''Polish Village''- Chicago's most well-known Polish Patch. The Resurrectionist Order from the city's first Polish parish, St. Stanislaus Kostka, organized this parish and still administer it today. The parish has been intimately tied in with Chicago's Polish immigrants, particularly those who have arrived in the Solidarity and Post-Solidarity waves of Polish migration to Chicago that began in the 1980s. On June 26, 2003, Pope John Paul II granted the designation of minor basilica, the third church in Illinois to achieve this status. On November 30, 2003, Cardinal Francis George, O.M.I., officially proclaimed St. Hyacinth Church a basilica of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Neighboring St. Wenceslaus parish was founded in 1912 as a Polish parish to relieve overcrowding at St. Hyacinth parish. The 1999 film ''Stir of Echoes'', was partly filmed at St. Hyacinth Basilica. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basilica of St. Hyacinth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
