In the spring of 2024 Marian Chapel at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe was remodeled once again placing SS. Crocifisso di Ciminna at the front altar providing a beautiful sacred place for all pilgrims to pray and come closer to God.
Thank you, Greg Cilano, for sharing your father's copy of the Crucifix di Ciminna 1956 Ad Book. What an amazing piece of our Chicago Ciminna history!
Crucifix di Ciminna was a Mutual Benefit Association that began in 1906. We know it existed at least through 1956 which is the year of their Golden Jubilee promoted with this ad book. Within these pages are the names of each member of the association by lodge and advertisements from local Chicago businesses.
In the fall of 2017, SS. Crocifisso Society and San Giovanni Bosco Society joined together as Societá SS. Crocifisso San Giovanni Bosco di Ciminna (Chicago). We hope to expand our reach and continue to extend our united society to new members. Anyone who is devote to the Holy Cross and to San Giovanni Bosco can be sponsored to join our society. We welcome you to participate in our wonderful non-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting and maintaining the religious welfare of the Italian community in Chicagoland.
