St. Maria Goretti in Chicago
Facebook Event Page:
Monday, October 12th will be a historic day in the City of Chicago—as we welcome the body of St. Maria Goretti.
The 11-year-old Maria Goretti, the youngest canonized saint, died after being stabbed 14 times in an attempted rape. Her last words on her deathbed were of mercy towards her attacker.—“I forgive Allessandro… and I want him to be with me in heaven.” Her converted murderer would later exclaim, “Maria’s forgiveness saved me.”
On Monday, October 12th, Saint John Cantius Church in Chicago’s River West neighborhood will host the sacred remains for a full 24 hours. A special Latin Mass in the Extraordinary Form in honor of St. Maria Goretti will be offered by Bishop Joseph Perry.
St. John Cantius Church (Detroit-Delray) - Last Mass - Part 8 of 9
The last mass at St. John Cantius Church in the Delray neighborhood of Detroit.
After serving the declining area for 105 years, the church has closed its doors on 10/28/2007, never to reopen again. Its decorative elements will be given to other churches.
Time will tell how long it will take for pillagers to break their way into the beautiful interior, or if it will be set ablaze as predicted by a local firefighter.

Thou didst descend on the sacred day of Pentecost on the holy Mother of Jesus and on His first disciples. Grant that I may participate in those gifts which Thou didst communicate to them so wonderfully, and with so much mercy and generosity. Take from my heart whatever is not pleasing to Thee, and make of it a worthy dwelling-place for Thyself. (From The Novena to The Holy Spirit)

Where Heaven Meets Earth
Released in 2013
No one would believe St. Peter Parish was heading anywhere but down. But God had other plans.
ON ASSIGNMENT investigates how a poor Catholic parish became a thriving and vibrant church again after more than 40 years of steady decline. Originally built in 1886, St. Peter's Church grew into one of the biggest and busiest parishes in Omaha, Nebraska. But in the 1960s, the construction of interstate 480 forced hundreds of parishioners to move away from St. Peter’s.
In the years that followed more and more parishioners moved west to the suburbs, St. Peter’s school closed, and the resulting lack of donations led to years of deferred building maintenance causing the church to fall into disrepair. By the time the new pastor arrived in 2004 no one would believe this parish would survive, but young Father Damien Cook was inspired with an idea that would prove God had other plans for St. Peter's.
