History

St Viator School

Founded in 1888 by the Clerics of Saint Viator who administered St. Viator College. The original parish was located on Belmont Avenue and Pulaski Road in Jefferson Township before the town was annexed by the city Chicago.[1]

The Sisters of St. Joseph were invited to direct the parish's school in 1902. By 1904 the parish grew and it relocated to its current location on Addison Street and Kedvale Avenue. Groundbreaking for the current church building was in 1927 and in 1929 it was dedicated by Cardinal George Mundelein.[2] Today, the parish grounds consists of the church, rectory, convent, recreation center, and St. Viator Elementary School which provides education for students pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.[3]

Architecture

The church was designed by architect Charles L. Wallace in the English Gothic style.[4]
