You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Holy Innocents Church''', (((lang-pl|Kościół Świętych Młodzianków))), is a church of the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago]] located at 743 North Armour Street in the [[East Village, Chicago|East Village]] neighborhood of [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]].  It is a prime example of the so-called "[[Polish Cathedral style]]" of churches in both its [[Wealth|opulence]] and grand scale.

==History==
Founded in 1905 as a [[Polish people|Polish]] parish, the church was one of a network of Polish churches within the old [[Polish Downtown (Chicago)|Polish Downtown]].  The first school and church were in buildings bought from the St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church that had been built in 1867. Holy Innocents remained an ethnic Polish parish until 1975, when it was assigned territorial boundaries. From 1999 to 2009, the former school served as the home of Bishop Alfred Abramowicz Seminary.<ref name=seminary>((cite news| url=http://www.catholicnewworld.com/cnwonline/2009/0913/1.aspx |title=Bishop Abramowicz Seminary finds new home| date=13 September 2009| work=[[Catholic New World]]| access-date=2013-10-30))</ref>

The parish retains its strong identification with [[Chicago Polonia]] while welcoming [[Hispanics]] and Catholics of other ethnic groups.  Although there has been much recent gentrification in the neighborhood, the parish continues to minister in English, [[Polish language|Polish]] and Spanish.

In 2021, the Chicago archdiocese combined Holy Innocents, St. Malachy + Precious Blood, and Santa Maria Addolorata to form the new parish, Blessed Maria Gabriella, with Fr. Matt Eyerman as pastor.<ref>((cite web |title=Archdiocese of Chicago Provides Updates on Three Renew My Church Groupings |url=https://www.archchicago.org/news-release/-/article/2021/01/23/archdiocese-of-chicago-provides-updates-on-three-renew-my-church-groupin-1 |website=Press Releases |publisher=Archdiocese of Chicago |access-date=17 April 2022))</ref><ref>((cite web |title=New Parishes |url=https://www.renewmychurch.org/decisions/new-parishes |website=Renew my church |publisher=Archdiocese of Chicago |access-date=17 April 2022))</ref>

==Architecture==
The church was designed by the architectural firm of [[Worthmann and Steinbach]] who built many of the magnificent [[Polish Cathedral]]s in Chicago.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.marybrush.com/KleinHoffman/Eng_HolyInnocentsChurch.htm |access-date=December 6, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714043111/http://www.marybrush.com/KleinHoffman/Eng_HolyInnocentsChurch.htm |archive-date=July 14, 2011 |title=Mary Brush ))</ref>  Completed in 1912, the church is built in a [[Romanesque Revival]] style with [[Byzantine]] flourishes. One distinguishing feature of the building is the six cupolas covered in brown tile.  The crossing is capped by a large dome with cupolas at the exterior corner of each transept and one atop each of the [[bell tower]]s on the west façade.  The [[stained glass]] windows are imported from [[Austria]] and [[Poland]].  The structure is constructed of red brick with limestone accents.  It sits on a short base of darker brownish brick.  The interior was redesigned after a 1962 fire and restored for the Parish centennial in 2005.  Words of welcome are engraved in three languages over the triple entrance doors- Welcome, Witamy and Bienvenidos.

The campus includes a rectory and school buildings which have been occupied since 2007 by [http://goldercollegeprep.noblenetwork.org/ Golder College Prep School].
