Thanks for this post on St Josophat. I’m an avid reader of this blog and an enthusiastic fan of the Basilica. This church is a living testament to the culture and faith of Polish immigrants. It continues to be a vibrant community and is active in the neighborhood with its food pantry, school, and ESL classes.
I’ve taken many visitors here including a visiting family from Brittany, France. Everyone is amazed and in awe. Most Milwaukee residents do not know just how awesome and amazing the relic room is in the basement chapel. The treasure there is even more impressive than what one would find anywhere in Europe.
One of the best Treasures of Milwaukee’s south side!I show people from outside Milwaukee photos of this Church and they find it awesome!
Thanks Dave, but folks should know the dome lighting is now done! In fact, the Basilica dedicated the new lighting system just last week. In case you missed it, here some of the media exposure:
