Las Posadas 2022

Saturday, December 10th at 10am — Corner of Leavitt & Diversey

As another winter begins, the Chicago Housing Authority continues to neglect 11 vacant Lathrop buildings south of Diversey.

Once again, promises are broken.  Once again, there’s no room at the inn.

For its 10th anniversary, the annual Las Posadas procession is returning to the place where it began in 2012 – the Lathrop Homes.

JOIN US on Saturday, December 10, as we gather at 10 AM at the corner of Leavitt & Diversey.  We will make several brief stops and conclude with a brief program and refreshments at the Gantz Boys & Girls Club, 2915 N. Leavitt.  

The procession is sponsored by the Logan Square Ecumenical Alliance in cooperation with the Preserve Lathrop Campaign.  

Las Posadas is a Latin American pre-Christmas tradition which reenacts the story of Bethlehem.  Families and individuals follow Mary and Joseph in their search for a room at an inn.  They are turned away until the last stop, where they are welcomed and go celebration.

LSEA includes churches from various denominations.  People of all faiths, or of no affiliation, are welcome to participate!
