St. John Cantius Church

We are getting married at beautiful St. John Cantius Church just off Chicago Ave. in West Town.

Saint John Cantius Church, founded in 1898, was voted “most Beautiful Church in America” in Church Madness, an online competition hosted by ArtandLiturgy.com. The competition was styled after the renowned college basketball tournament, March Madness.

If you are planning on visiting mHUB after the ceremony, we suggest you park in the mHUB parking lot on Sangamon street. There is also parking at the Church. If you are not planning on visiting mHUB, we suggest you park in the Church lot.
