St John Cantius in Chicago, IL

Merry Christmas!!


Midnight Mass



One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen is St John Cantius.  I have been privileged to attend their Midnight Mass a few times.  The carols before Mass are heavenly. 

St John Cantius 
Chicago, IL


Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold.  In that hour, vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother.  Amen.
