Oh man, when it said St. John Cantius was the most beautiful church in America, I was really hoping it was the one in Tremont with the bowling alley.
Although, while very pretty, that would have been a major upset.
I wonder if the bowling alley is even there anymore...
Here's a link to the Eric Genuis article entitled "Pro-life composer has a mission to bring beauty to the ugly prisons of America" (well-worth reading):

Can we get Sebastian some "Just for Men" to cover that gray ??
The documentary,Restoring the Sacred , about St. John Cantius parish's resurrection from near death, is both fascinating and inspiring. Going to Mass at the church is on my bucket list.
Fr. V., I'm glad to hear that you've met Eric already. I hope you also had a chance to hear him play. The passion with which he plays his beautiful original compositions is unlike anything I've ever seen. Here's the info on his local concerts:
