Summaries

Who was Chief Sauganash? "Holy Ground" is the story of Chicago's emergence as one of the largest cities in the world, from the perspective of the Catholic Church.

The history of a city is not a straightforward narrative. "Holy Ground" outlines the story of Chicago from the perspective of the Catholics between the early 1800s to the 1960s. From the founding of Fort Dearborn, the influence of Billy Caldwell, all the way through to the population increase following World War II, Catholics have played a unique role in both the city's development and the suburbs. Packed with engaging historians, "Holy Ground" offers a comprehensive study of varying timelines in an educational, entertaining and spiritual documentary.—St. Mary of the Woods Chicago - and - Ss. Peter & Lambert Skokie
