City of Catholics--Chicago and the 1926 International Eucharistic Congress
The 28th International Eucharistic Congress in June 1926 signaled the emergence of the Catholic Church into the mainstream of American culture, and of Chicago as a major international city. The University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary Library’s collection of 1,100 photographs and two souvenir books documents the events and depicts the prelates, dignitaries and pilgrims, totaling nearly 1 million, who attended. These formal, informal and panorama photographs documenting individuals, groups, activities, and places, such as Soldier Field, Mundelein Seminary and the Coliseum, will be of interest to researchers of religion, social history, transportation, and the Chicago and Lake County regions.
