The Best Churches in Chicago

This church is filled with Holy Spirit. I felt coming alive receiving the ceremonial bread this past Easter. The architecture in the walls, ceilings and exteriors are well renowned and made strong impression of those who visited. They have visitors from all over the world and the regulars are as diverse as the city of Chicago. This place not only is centrally located, it offers parking right next door and the security measures are excellent. You will feel safe and protected during worship. This church is also next to many historical monuments in the Windy City that is worth visiting even if you do not identify with Catholicism. I highly recommended Holy Name Cathedral.

If you only had a choice of one Mass to go to during the year, the Christmas Midnight Mass at St. John Cantius Church should be the one that you pick. The liturgy is just as beautiful as the church. Over the last couple of years, renovations have been taking place on the church's interior and though I don't know exactly what was most recently finished, or what is next, the interior is looking better and better. If you are a baby boomer , this liturgy will definitely take you back to another, different time. Oh, for the Midnight Mass, be sure to come early so as to listen to the choir and organ.

We are members at Old St. Pat’s church but travel downtown to Chicago from the suburbs to be an active member. If you are Catholic and in from out of town looking for a place to attend Mass.....this is absolutely your place! When the church completed a zip code study to see where their parishioners lived, it was found that no one zip code contained more than 5% of the churches members. Members easily travel 20-30 miles into the city to attend what we fondly refer to as OSP. You will find this church incredibly friendly and enriching. You won’t be disappointed.
