Archdiocese of Chicago

The Archdiocese of Chicago is a religious organization headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. It employs 1,476 people and generates an annual revenue of $1 billion. As the third largest archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States, it serves over 2.2 million Catholics across 221 parishes. Led by Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, the ninth Archbishop of Chicago since 2014, the archdiocese encompasses a wide range of ministries and organizations. The Archdiocese of Chicago offers a comprehensive suite of services, including Catholic school education through the Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic Schools, one of the largest private school systems in the United States. Known for its academic excellence, the school system has received more Blue Ribbon Awards of Excellence in Education than any other in the nation. The archdiocese also operates Catholic Charities, the largest nonprofit social service agency in the region, which assists over 1 million people in need annually in Cook and Lake Counties. Beyond its traditional services, the Archdiocese of Chicago has spearheaded innovative programs. Pastoral Migratoria, a parish-based immigrant-to-immigrant ministry, empowers immigrants to engage in their communities through service, leadership development, and advocacy. In line with Pope Francis' vision, Cardinal Cupich launched a violence prevention initiative aimed at addressing the root causes of violence in Chicago. This initiative seeks to collaborate with like-minded organizations to expand the reach and impact of existing violence prevention programs.
