3 - Holy Name Cathedral (Chicago, Illinois)

The seat of the Archdiocese of Chicago, the third largest Archdioces in the U.S. Holy Name Cathedral was erected in 1875, in order to replace the Cathedral of St. Mary and Holy Name Church, both of which were completely destroyed by the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Pope St. John Paul II also held a papal Mass here during his 1979 tour of America.
