  Such a beautiful church. Go to mass and then stay for the short tour/talk afterwards. Such interesting history about the Basilica and the how the immigrants in Milwaukee sacrificed to get it built. Couldn't stop staring at the stained glass windows and the beautiful ceiling.

  We heard classical music there--fabulous! It was a sound & visual delight. We will try to catch another concert there.

  We had been to the Basilica about a year before for a concert, and we were awed. We took some visitors there right after Christmas when we learned that it was open to the public during certain hours--for free! The ceilings are truly awesome, and everything is so elegant. Don't miss the lowest level, which has panels about its history, including the story that portions of the razed Chicago Post Office and Custom House were brought up to Milwaukee on railroad flatcars to be incorporated to the Basilica.

  My family and I attended the 1000 Mass at the Basilica of St. Josaphat. The choir was outstanding and the Mass was solemn and beautiful. The Basilica itself is breathtaking and there is a walking tour for those who would like to learn more. A must see!

  Last March, I needed to break out of my winter doldrums and decided to check out this Milwaukee gem based on the ratings on this site. I arrived early for the Sunday 10 am mass and took in the beauty of the basilica. Following mass, I stuck around for the tour they offer. An adorable older Polish gentleman guided our group through the church, explaining the history of the community and the architecture of the basilica. It's a perfect outing for a wintry Sunday - an experience that combines faith, history and art all in one.

  This basilica is on par with European churches. The exterior and interior are gorgeous, a must see. There is a small museum in the basement explaining the very interesting history and construction. They occasionally offer tours for a little more insight but not much better than you can get from the museum.

  This was a really great experience for both practicing catholics and non practicing catholics. There is a ton of history here. We took the self-guided tour, but were told that they maybe starting guided tours soon.
