About
Queen of Apostles Parish was created on August 1, 2020, under the temporary name of Queen of Angels and St. Matthias Parish. This merger of two historic parishes in Lincoln Square happened through the Renew My Church process. Monsignor Jim Kaczorowski had been named in May 2020 as the Pastor of the newly created parish, and Father Larry McNally remained to help him as a Resident Priest through his official retirement in April 2021. Since January 17, 2021, Queen of Angels Church has been the shared worship site that is home to all regularly scheduled Masses and other events for Queen of Apostles Parish. Queen of Angels School is the parish school. St. Matthias School, an IB World School, has become an archdiocesan school, not under any particular parish, and continues to use St. Matthias Church at least through the end of the 2020-2021 school year. Though buildings are the often first things seen, a parish is not a series of buildings. What’s inside is us: a group of dynamic and devoted parishioners with diverse backgrounds. The new name Queen of Apostles was chosen by Cardinal Cupich and announced in March 2021 after a process of several months, including gathering suggestions from parishioners and a survey for parishioners to rank the suggestions in order of their own preference. The name combines the Marian traditions of Queen of Angels and the missionary spirit of St. Matthias, who was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot among the Twelve Apostles. The name also reminds us of the mission we are given through our Baptism, to go forth and share the Good News with all we meet.
