Only 20% of the faithful at Our Lady of Sorrows are from the parish; one man, Joseph Francis McCarthy, flies from Manhattan to Chicago every Friday to make his novena. Collections now total $800 a week, and in January Father Keane plans a "Novena Anniversary Party" with games, prizes, a bar and "Chicago's Greatest Floor Show," to raise $15,000 to air-condition the crowded church...
