We visited this fabulous cathedral in an unassuming neighborhood in Milwaukee Sunday as the priest was getting ready to have baby confirmations and it was so nice that services were conducted in this lovely building. Astounding artwork, museum worthy, so we were glad we made the effort to find this gem on our way to the airport.

This is like the duomos in Italy - a work of art everywhere you look. I don't know how attendees keep their minds on their prayers and services. Somewhat surprising is all the writing in Polish everywhere. Of course, it was built by Polish immigrants, but usually churches don't have a lot of writing and when they do it's mostly...

One of the most beautiful churches in the USA. It is a hidden treasure. Take the free tour after the mass and it is very worthwhile. You will learn how this church was built and became an architechtual masterpiece.

This is a beautiful building. Painstakingly maintained and gorgeous. We were here a couple of Christmas's ago to hear a presentation of Handel's Messiah performed by the Milwaukee Symphony. It was of course a sold out crowd the night we attended with a group of good friends. A true appreciation for not only the music but the presentation of that...

The basilica is amazing! It truly feels like you're in one of the churches in Europe. At nite, the stained glass windows are beautiful. We go to concerts there and the sound is great.

This spectacularly beautiful church made us feel like we were traveling in Europe again. We attended the 8:00 a.m. Mass, then stayed around talking for about 10-15 minutes. About that time the choir started practicing for the next Mass service -- and their pure voices were such a joy to listen to.
