History and Restoration of St Patrick's

[@placesofthepast]

I'd love to know, does anyone have any other favorite well-preserved or restored historical churches?

It would be cool to visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion east of Green Bay. While the architecture isn’t as impressive, the history is incredible. It’s the only Church-approved Marian Apparition in the United States, miraculously survived a massive wildfire back in the day, and has a huge collection of crutches from the healings that have taken place there.

Very beautiful. Thanks to the Institute of Christ the King.

Amazing! Wow. ❤

[@paulyosef7550]

I love going to mass here

The ICKSP always does an excellent job of bringing back the liturgical beauty of churches.

You could also make another great video about the Institute's restoration of St. Stanislaus Church in Milwaukee, WI. These Priests have a magnificent grasp of architecture and style which, along with the traditional Latin Mass and Gregorian Chant music, makes worshiping in their churches simply amazing.

I would love to do that. I didn’t know the Institute was behind the restoration of that church, what a cool group.

I just finished watching a couple of your other videos in addition to this one. Your channel is vastly underrated, and the quality of your work is incredible. Deo Gratias.

[@placesofthepast]

Thank you, I’m glad you are enjoying it!

[@stevefredriksson6155]

Superb!

[@peggysaindon8281]

Very well done video. I have watched it several times now and am sharing it with my "Irish" family that are out of state.

[@placesofthepast]

So glad you liked it, and thanks for sharing it.

Awesome video! Would love to know more about the Cathedral and the Carmelite Monastery in Denmark.

[@placesofthepast]

That’s a good idea - that monastery is a beautiful place from what I remember

[@dgauerke110]

Beautiful church, great video, keep up the good work.

[@davidgillespie1660]

Well done! Thanks

[@jeremygarst394]

And most importantly, Jesus is there!

Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Fancher, WI is a beautiful Catholic Church built by Polish immigrants. It is located out in the country

You had mentioned in this video that St. Mary's is the German church, but St. Mary's (of the roller rink) is the Polish church; St. Willibroad's is the German church.

[@placesofthepast]

Thank you for the comment. According to my research, St Francis Xavier was originally named St Mary’s before it became the cathedral, so I used its original name in the historical context. I should have mentioned that in the video!

[@MikeLeegbw]

Great video. One correction; when you mention the "German Church" of St. Mary's, you show St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, and, St. Mary's was the Polish Church.

[@placesofthepast]

You are correct, thanks for pointing that out! St Francis Xavier Cathedral was originally called St Mary’s before it became the cathedral, and before the Polish church was founded. Since I was referring to it in its earliest context, I used its first name.

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

An Irish church involved in the Temperance movement?! Wow, are you sure on that?

[@placesofthepast]

Oh yes, they were serious about it, too!

Thank God I'm not Irish. Grandpa from Bavaria and Brandy is medicine.

@@Steve-318We are happy you are not either!
