Now in our 25th Year, Shining On… & consecrated to Mary,
Queen of the Holy Rosary, The Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii is a
place to pray for peace that embraces all people of faith. A center
of hospitality and spiritual growth, the Shrine’s ministry is one
of spiritual assistance and ser-vice where all might experience
inspirational moments of prayer, comfort and contemplation. Located
on Chicago’s Near West Side, the Shrine is a gift of the
Italian-American community to the Archdiocese of Chicago. Our
mission is to dedicate our resources to healing, prayer and
pilgrimage.

T he term shrine signifies a church or other sacred place to
which the faithful make pilgrimages for a particular pious reason
with the approval of the local ordinary. At shrines, more abundant
means of salvation are to be provided for the faithful; the Word of
God is to be carefully proclaimed; liturgical life is to be
appropriately fostered especially through the celebration of the
Eucharist and penance; and approved forms of popular piety are to
be cultivated.

Le Decine del Rosario is the Italian phrase for decades of the
rosary, representing the twenty decades of the rosary, for which
