Arrange for a Visit

We recommend interested men come to Chicago to visit us for a few days. Experience the community life and work of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius as you pray and work along side of the Canons as we go about our usual daily ministry.

 

There will be no pressure, just companions ready to lend a hand in discovering where God is calling you. Our Superior General, Fr. Joshua Caswell SJC, will be available to answer any questions you may have.
