    Read excerpt

    Famed evangelist and Emmy-winning TV host Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said, “It does not require much time to make us saints. It requires only much love.” The media pioneer from central Illinois who once captivated millions of American viewers with his faith-filled primetime programming is now one step closer to sainthood. Tens of thousands of Catholic faithful gathered for Sheen’s historic beatification in St. Louis on Thursday, marking the first Illinois native to reach this milestone on the

    The mysterious call came in around 7:40 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001. Sue Mladenik was making the bed in her Hinsdale home and quickly grabbed a nearby phone, hoping the unusually early noise wouldn’t awaken her young daughter.

    At the first glimpse of his newly printed high school ID card, freshman Matthew Erickson jumped up and down with excitement, waving the little piece of plastic triumphantly in the air. “Wow! I got it,” he shouted in the halls of Huntley High School earlier this month during a materials pickup event prior to the first day of class. “I love it.” The start of high school seemed an improbable milestone for Matthew almost 15 years ago, when he was born with an extremely rare and often fatal form of b

    On horseback, under a nearly cloudless blue sky, the pastor removed his cowboy hat and bowed his head, speaking to the Lord during an unconventional Sunday worship service hosted by a nascent Christian ministry in northwest Illinois. “I pray that this time may be blessed,” he said, closing his eyes and holding the reins in one hand. “I pray that you watch over everybody here. And I just thank you that we get to do this. This is insane. I just ask that your message would come forth.” After the bl

    Read excerpt

    On the seventh anniversary of his death, Bridget Biddinger visited the grave of her brother at Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery in Hillside to honor his memory, as she has every year since he died by suicide on June 26, 2019.
