Melrose Park's Italian American parish has celebrated this feast since the 1890s, with a nine day novena leading into a weekend of Masses, processions and street festivities around the church at 23rd and Augusta. The parish's statue of the Madonna carries a rare papal coronation, one of only a handful granted in the United States. Thousands from across the Chicago area attend the closing weekend nearest July 16.
