Saint John Cantius Parish is celebrating 125 years since its Founding in 1893.

Saubt John Cantius is a unique Church in The Archdiocese of Chicago—helping many discover a profound sense of The Sacred through Solemn Liturgies and Devotions, Treasures of Sacred Art, and Liturgical Music.

The historic landmark Church, Founded by Polish Immigrants, is one of the best examples of Sacred Architecture in the City. Located in the heart of Chicago, it is accessible by car, bus, or subway. One of the most beautiful Sacred Spaces in Chicago, the Church boasts a fascinating Parish history that mirrors The Life of Our Saviour—a life of growth, suffering, and resurrection.

“This Church is a House of God, a Gateway to Heaven, a House in which our lives begin and end. God opens the gates to a Christian life for us in this House. Here, a child learns his Prayers. Here, too, everyone can find spiritual guidance and succour in misfortune.

“It is a House of God, for God lives within it; it is a Gateway to Heaven, for it creates Christians according to The Teachings of Christ.” —Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan on the Laying of The Cornerstone in 1893.
