Sacred Mysteries: A new shrine in Chicago for Mexican martyrs

In leafy 61st Avenue in Cicero, now a suburb of Chicago, hydrangeas and geraniums thrive beside the lawn at number 2400. Number 2400 is the church of Our Lady of the Mount. Of its six Masses on a Sunday, five are said in Spanish. It’s a long way (1,500 miles) to the Mexican border, but over the past 40 years there has been a lot of Hispanic settlement in Cicero.
