Visitation Parish, in the Diocese of Joliet, was founded in 1953. The nine-acre site includes the church, school, convent, rectory, chapel and gymnasium. The parish is undergoing a major renovation to update buildings and add much-needed space to prepare for future generations. Renovations include replacing Madonna Hall with a new Parish Center, modernizing the school and creating safer pathways for children, creating handicap accessibility, increasing meeting space to support parish ministries and programs — all with as little disruption as possible in the day-to-day life at the parish.
