Johnson's visit to the church came on the heels of a day of violence.
Three kids and a 17-year-old were shot on Saturday alone, including a 3-year-old boy, who was shot in the face in Calumet Heights, and rushed to the hospital in serious condition.
ABC7 asked Johnson's team for a chance to speak with the mayor-elect on the weekend shootings, but they declined, saying he didn't have time on Sunday. "I think that it was a nice job and I think being the new mayor, I think hopefully he'll do a great job," said Shirley White, a parishioner."I'm confident. We are going to stay prayed up. I'm confident," said Cynthia Kimble, another parishioner.
