The parish is located at 5511 S. Sawyer in Chicago (at the corner of Kedzie & 55th), and was established in the late 1900’s, with the attached school starting in the 1920s and still serving many children today. The parish was recently merged with the chapel (which is located at 5157 S. California). Between the 2 locations there are 8 Sunday Masses offered, in Spanish and English.

During the years 1992-1999, Fr. David Dowdle was the pastor of St. Gall, before joining St. John of the Cross Parish as our pastor. This is where the connection between our two parishes began.

The St. Gall food pantry which serves over 200 families is open on Mondays and Wednesdays.  The food pantry is run by the parish and supported by volunteers from the St. Vincent de Paul Society.  

SJC supports St. Gall through not only monthly financial support, but also throughout the year with deliveries of hams/turkeys during the Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays, and from our Harvest Saturday collection, as well as adoption of numerous families through our Share Christmas program, and a back- to-school backpack program.
