The Catholic church shown above is the Parish of Christ the King. Christ the King was dedicated by Bishop Francis C. Kelly in May of 1928 and was the first church in the world dedicated with the name “Christ the King”. The semi-octagonal sanctuary, communion rain, and elevated altar work together to create the design of the Turners Cross. The beautiful stained-glass windows were designed by Alfonso Iannelli and made by the Temple Art Glass Company of Chicago. The windows today rank among the finest examples of stained glass in the U.S.  The south side illustrates the kings of the Old Testament, and the north side illustrates the kings of the New Testaments. Emil Frei, Inc. Bruce Goff designed the mosaic of Christ altar. The church contains many more symbolic details making it a very interesting piece of architecture.

The Parish of Christ the King has had a positive effect on myself. I have attended this church since I was young, and I immediately feel welcomed when I enter this building. The outside of the church also shows great detail and has unique angles and symmetry. The beautiful stained glass is striking and depicts a story with the images on the windows. When you first enter the church, you walk into a lobby which is always flooded with people prior to church starting. Once you enter the church you are in complete silence; I always am overcome by peace and holiness. The friendships I have made through this church, that have remained constant throughout my entire life, are what makes this work of architecture so special to me.
