About Us



The Faith Community of Saint Sabina

is a Word-based, Bible teaching African-American Catholic Church that believes in the power of praise and worship.

We are a spiritual hospital where all are welcome and invited to "taste and see the goodness of the Lord."

Our purpose is to nurture and develop spiritually mature Christians who are not confined by the walls of the sanctuary, but can penetrate the world in order to present God's way of living as a divine option.

Daughters & Sons by Dr. Maya Angelou


 

If my luck is bad
And his aim is straight
I will leave my life
On the killing field.
You can see me die
On the nightly news
As you settle down
To your evening meal.

But you’ll turn your back
As you often do
Yet I am your sons
And your daughters too.

CRITICS SEE LOSS BUT NO GAIN IN VIDEO GAMING

Fr. Michael Pfleger kicked off remarks at a February news conference protesting renewed efforts to override community bans against the 45,000 video gambling machines the state legislature approved for allocation throughout Illinois.  Joining him are (from left) John Alan Boryk, Illinois coordinator for Stop Predatory Gambling, based in Washington DC; Chicago political activist Betty Magness; Dolton IL Inspector General Robert Shaw; Nancy Duel, chair of the United Methodist Church Northern Illinois Conference Anti-Gambling Task Force, Arlington Heights IL; 9th Ward Ald. Anthony Beale; Doug Dobmeyer, spokesman for the Task Force To Oppose Gambling in Chicago; and, from St. Sabina Catholic Church, Minister Randall Blakey and Rev. Thulani Magwaza. A broad spectrum of community advocates gathered February 4 at City Hall, where they feared the City Council License Committee might begin considering a repeal of Chicago's ban on video gambling.  "It's a moral issue," said Fr. Michael Pfleger, "but the effect on the community is also economic."

The issue grew out of the Video Gaming Act, which the Illinois legislature rushed through last spring with scant public review and intended to raise funds for a statewide capital improvement bill.  Of the money projected, 70 percent would go to site owners and machine operators.  

"We'd lose 95 cents before seeing a nickel," Pfleger said in reference to Chicago's proportion of the take.  "The city is not going to be able to balance its budget on video poker.  They may take in $10 - $15 million, but they are going to spend more than that on police overtime just to manage all the problems that video poker will cause."
