St Panteleimon Chapel in Summit Argo, Illinois, serves as a shrine of the Diocese of the Midwest, Orthodox Church in America. As a diocesan institution established by our Bishop for the service of the wider Church, the Shrine seeks to foster the Christian life in its fullness, centered around:

• the TRUE FAITH: attested in the Scriptures, taught by the Apostles, and passed down within the Church from generation to generation;
• TRUE WORSHIP in the Orthodox liturgical tradition, and above all, the celebration of the Holy Mysteries for the healing of our souls and bodies;
• TRUE SERVICE, through which we are called to show our love for God, for each other, and for our neighbor.

After functioning as a parish community for almost nine decades, St Panteleimon Shrine is now designated as a place of worship, healing, and formation not only for our diocesan family at large, but for all those who come to this place seeking spiritual renewal. YOU ARE WELCOME to join us as we seek to pray, learn, and grow together!
