If you have ever been to St. James Basilica in Rome, this is a smaller version, but equally magnificent. It was built with materials from a demolished U.S. post office, and by working-class Poles who put in volunteer hours at night and on the weekends.

I've lived in Milwaukee my entire life and certainly this church is an icon. But frankly, up close it is pretty rough.

One who travels to Europe may see a colossal church on... More
