St. Giles is an excellent Catholic church. I have been going there for years, and I have learned a lot. I find that the priests deliver thoughtful and inspiring sermons that have practical applications in my life. I also like the fact that St. Giles has a Saturday evening Mass, which frees up Sunday mornings if I have guests or whatever.

Oak Park has a very good youth baseball program. That's why their high school teams consistently do very well in the state tournaments (OPRF High School Girls' Softball team are '05 State Champs). You can find a baseball or softball team to fit your child's age group and skill level. They have standard Little League rules in place, so your child is guaranteed a certain amount of playing time in each game. I played in the softball leagues for more than 10 years. I had a lot of fun and learned important lessons about teamwork and competition.

More
Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Church is a liberal congregation with membership in the Unitarian Universalist Association. The building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and is worth a visit in itself.
The congregation is well-established in the Oak Park area. It's a little difficult to meet people at first, as everyone seems to know everyone else. But joining one of their many classes or taking part in an activity offers the chance to get to know other members.
If you're looking for liberal theology, or just a place to get that sense of community without a lot of "preachyness", this is the place for you! And if you aren't already familiar with Unitarian Universalist churches, check out the website. You'll find they aren't traditional Christian churches, but more like liberal religious communities.

More
This church is the only surviving public building from the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie period and it's available for viewing during non-church service hours. Although there are many of Wright's houses in the area, and most people are familiar with his style, this is an application of architectural detail that not many people get to see. It's a very peaceful place, with a knowledgable staff and a small gift shop when you enter, with brochures, postcards, and some surprisingly interesting gifts (although few in number). If you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, this is definitely worth exploring.

I think this is one of the best libraries I have been to. The staff is really nice and courteous. They even have the latest DVD's availaible for rent. They used to charge a buck for them, but lately they have removed that charge also. The ambiance is really nice and they even have free computers and wireless internet. Check it out at oak park avenue and lake. :-)
