Ken and Valerie Grzeslo

Our fondest memory of St. Francis Xavier is our big wedding on November 26, 1983. The exterior and interior of St. Francis is just so beautiful. My wife and I grew up at very plain churches in Chicago's southwest side. After dating for fourteen years we were married by my wife's childhood friend Fr. John Hannigan (his sister was also a parishioner). Fr. Joe Mulcrone translated the ceremony to sign language for my wife's father, mother and friends. After the wedding mass we walked across the street to our new home and had guests over for coffee and cake before the reception. Every time I look across the street I think of that beautiful day.
