On behalf of the 2.3 million Roman Catholics who live in Cook and Lake counties in northeastern Illinois, I welcome you to the Archdiocese of Chicago's Official Home Page on the World Wide Web.

The Archdiocese of Chicago serves the people of Chicago and its surrounding metropolitan area through our parishes, schools, seminaries, Catholic Charities and many other Catholic agencies and institutions.

I hope, in the days ahead, you will find the Archdiocese of Chicago's Official Home Page to be a helpful resource.

With cordial good wishes, I remain

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Archbishop of Chicago
