Chicago's St. John Cantius voted “Most Beautiful Church in America” 825 N. Carpenter St., Chicago, Illinois

Saint John Cantius Church, in Chicago’s River West neighborhood, is honored to be voted “most Beautiful Church in America” in Church Madness, an online competition hosted by ArtandLiturgy.com. The competition was styled after the renowned college basketball tournament, March Madness.

In an online match-up poll, St. John’s competed with some of the Midwest’s most outstanding churches, including the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, to make it to the “Ferial Four.” SJC then moved past the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., to make it to the “National Churchpionship” against Salt Lake City’s Cathedral of the Madeleine.
