After visiting the Dana-Thomas House, architecture fans should face east on Lawrence and look up…read more The yellow stone cross visible above the rooftops a few blocks away tops the central spire of Springfield's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The church is situated between the school and convent on one side and the rectory on the other, all executed in the same deep yellow stone. The imposing facade is Greek Revival, and when I walked up the steps in the middle of the day (on a Wednesday), the doors were open. The sanctuary is expansive and as opulently decorated as any of the great churches in Chicago. Marble is everywhere, from the wainscoting, to the niches, to that which frames the icon behind the altar. The stations of the cross are done in mosaic, but the most striking part of the church are the windows. Light floods into the tall, narrow windows showing the vivid colors of the images. Even though services weren't scheduled when I visited, there were several people seated around the church having quiet moments to themselves. More people came in while I was there, so it seems that the church is commonly open, but that visitors should enter quietly and move through the church unobtrusively and respectfully.

Still wondering why the pastor left the last church he was at with a lot of debt. They never paid…read moreanything except for interest on the building over all those years. Kinda crazy and very suspicious. But then blames it on a denomination. I am not A/G, and do not care, but I did look up and ask after all this happened, and all the church had to do was have the board vote to affirm they were leaving the A/G and thats all you have to do. So I love his excuses but I would never trust this pastor. He is a wolf in sheeps clothing!
