 Construction of the Kennedy Expressway which cut through the heart of Chicago's Polonia began a period of decline for the parish as many long-time residents were forced to relocate.Attorney General Robert Kennedy attended Mass here as part of the festivities surrounding the annual Polish Constitution Day Parade in 1961.The parish came under the jurisdiction of The Resurrectionists in 1975 and in 1988 of the Society of Christ Fathers who continue to administer it.
