History
Epiphany began as a parish school educating students from the local community. The Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, Wisconsin were the school's first teachers. The Sisters continued at the school for more than 70 years creating one of the finest educational facilities serving the lower west side of Chicago. The Latino parishioners gradually replaced the first parishioners from the Slavic countries throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
