St. Clement Catholic Church was built in 1917-1918 in Lincoln Park in Chicago. The architect was Thomas P. Barnett of the St. Louis firm of Barnett, Haynes & Barnett.


The church was built in a Byzantine style reminiscent of the church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. The decoration of the half-dome behind the high altar is a copy of the twelfth- or thirteenth-century mosaic in the apse of the Basilica of San Clemente al Laterano in Rome. The ground to begin building the church was broken on March 19, 1917

  Though not the largest Catholic church/basilica out there, St. Clement's is still absolutely stunning. The architecture is in stunning Byzantine style. The color schemes, art, and inner structures are simply beautiful and awe-inspiring. Also seemed to have an excellent community with people of all ages, especially young families. There were at least 5 pregnant women in attendance.

  Well I'm a Catholic, so I'm basically on the team. What Catholic parishes are as different as pizza places. This one is wonderful -- and the outreach stuff they do for people outside the Catholic community is truly impressive.
