Praying the Seven Sorrows of Mary is a scripturally based devotion dating back to the 14th Century. Her image was included in Max Ingrand's stained glass "forest" in St. Mary of the Woods Roman Catholic Church in Chicago. To learn more about this apparition, we visited Fr. Frank Falco at Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica to share insights about this devotion.

How does one tell the story of a church? In 2021, with the Archdiocese of Chicago's Renew My Church initiative, St. Mary of the Woods looked for a way to establish their own parish identity. They embarked on a three-part multifaceted video production that focused on the parish life, the theological architecture of the church, and the parish history. Over the subsequent years, SMOW released a series of videos that focused on the Parish Ministries, how they began and how they are active in the modern era. They released the documentary, Holy Ground that looked at the history of Chicago through the Catholic perspective.

To address the theological architecture, SMOW produced The Marian Stained Glass Windows of St. Mary of the Woods which focuses on the elaborate stained glass windows artwork that makes up the church's facade.

You can find both the Parish Ministry video series, and Holy Ground on our YouTube channel.
