Who Will Fill These Shoes?

Thank you all who prayed, invited, and attended the annual Who Will Fill These Shoes event on November 25, 2022!

Check out our fact sheet to see who participated.

Who Will Fill These Shoes?

Fr. Vic Ivers, a priest from the Archdiocese of Chicago who was deeply rooted in the faith, passed away on Jan. 18, 2014, at the age of 95. At St. Joseph Parish in Libertyville, as his final Mass was coming to a conclusion, he stopped, took off his shoes, laid them in front of the altar and said, “so now who will fill these shoes?” Then he processed out, leaving the shoes behind with a question that remains for today. The Who Will Fill These Shoes? event has then been celebrated in our archdiocese ever since.
