Video: The Restoration and Revitalization of St. John Cantius Church in Chicago.

I was delighted to stumble upon this video documentary about the restoration and revitalization of my parish, St John Cantius Catholic Church in Chicago.

The video also examines the creation of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius, the religious order that administers the parish. The charism of the Canons is the restoration of the sacred art and liturgy of the Catholic Church.

I have found the liturgical experience at St. John Cantius to be incredibly uplifting and beautiful and a real boost to my spiritual life. The fact that families travel from all over the Chicago area to attend services at St. John Cantius attests to the hunger that many have for the sacred traditions of the Church.

The video can be watched here in its entirety:

  1. I first saw this video a few years ago, and I agree it's excellent.

    Don Carney, the fellow who produced it, is a mensch. He's also done three excellent videos for the Pro-Life Action League, including our videos on Face the Truth and "No Greater Joy" (on sidewalk counseling).
