The Basilica of St Josaphat - Milwaukee, WI
This beautiful Franciscan Basilica of St. Josaphat in South Milwaukee gives FREE tours every Sunday after the 10AM mass, but you are free to roam around and take photos when services are not in session. The tour is worth attending to learn about the rich history of the building of the Basilica and the incredible dedication and contributions of the Catholic and Polish members of the local community who helped physically and financially build the church over the years. The architecture and art is awe-inspiring and the pipe organ sounds incredible (would love to hear Bach's 'Toccata and Fugue' in D Minor in that Basilica on that organ).
There is a smaller chapel in the basement of the Basilica that contains a variety of holy relics that is also worth viewing.
