Maryville Crisis Nursery
The Maryville Crisis Nursery is a vital and innovative program that provides free short-term care for parents in distress and experiencing a crisis. The Crisis Nursery protects their children, birth to 6, from abuse, neglect or trauma.
Children receive round-the-clock child care for up to 72 hours for each stay. This safe and nurturing environment is designed to protect them from harmful experiences and the damaging effects of trauma. Issues that bring families to the Maryville Crisis Nursery include unemployment, parental illness or hospitalization, poverty and homelessness.
The Crisis Nursery is located at 6650 W. Irving Park in Chicago. Parents can call the 24-Hour Crisis Helpline, 773-205-3637, to avail of services.
Early Childhood – Maryville Crisis Nursery
Children’s Healthcare Center (CHC)
Our Children’s Healthcare Center provides care for medically fragile and/or technology-dependent children, ages newborn through 21 years.
Most children are admitted from a hospital NICU or PICU. This program focuses on patients who no longer require acute care, but who need significant medical attention related to wound therapy, PICC antibiotics, post-surgical care, NG, GJ tube feedings, and ventilator care. The Center is a “home away from home” for medically fragile children and their families.
Our 16-bed facility offers child/adolescent-friendly and welcoming rooms. There are separate rooms for physical therapy, learning, eating and play, as well as rooms for parents to stay overnight.
Saint Catherine of Siena
St. Catherine of Siena provides a transitional, community-based shelter for children from newborns to age 21 with complex medical needs who are under the care of the Department of Children and Family Services. The program ensures 24-hour high-quality support from skilled nurses and experienced youth care staff, who bring a compassionate philosophy to their daily work. They recognize that family, supportive staff and caregivers in supportive roles can make a profound difference in the lives of these children. Facing medical diagnoses, treatments and frequent appointments can be daunting for young people, but our dedicated team is there to accompany them to every appointment and coordinate the necessary services for quality care.
Prior to discharge, our nursing staff will provide the relative or caregiver training so that a safe and successful transition will occur.
Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)
The Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) was founded in Chicago in 1930 to provide the youth a safe place to play and participate in organized athletic competition. CYO’s mission is to bring youth together, to foster strong relationships in families and communities, and to help them lead more fulfilling and rewarding lives through sports.
The Maryville CYO sponsors organized athletic programs throughout the year, notably basketball, cross country, track and field and cheerleading, utilizing facilities such as Catholic schools, YMCA, Chicago Park District and Chicago Public Schools.
Each year, approximately 3,000 youth, ages 8-19, participate in CYO events in the Chicago area. Maryville sponsors and directs this program on behalf of the Archdiocese of Chicago. It is open to young people of all faiths.

Maryville Golf Academy
In the spirit of tradition and excellence that Saint Mary’s Training School (renamed Maryville Academy in 1950) started in 1883, the Maryville Golf Academy continues Maryville’s 140-year tradition of teaching children and young adults skill sets and life lessons and building their character to prepare them for a brighter and successful future. Established in 1994, the Maryville Golf Academy offers the Maryville children residing on the Des Plaines campus the opportunity to work, play and practice at neighboring facilities. Celebrating 29 years this year, it continues its growth and outreach, serving hundreds of children, youth and young adults who would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn and grow in the game. The Maryville Golf Academy develops them as players, caddies or clubmakers. They learn to play golf as well as the values and lessons inherent in the game that are embodied by Maryville and the Maryville Golf Academy founders, such as etiquette, respect, honesty, perseverance, responsibility and sportsmanship.
Here are ways the Maryville Golf Academy collaborates with Maryville programs and community organizations
