BEST CHURCH, SYNAGOGUE OR MOSQUE

Blessed Sacrament 1725 S. Walnut St., 528-7521 This vote wasn’t close, and with good reason. Blessed Sacrament has everything you could want in a church: a quiet neighborhood setting, majestic Gothic Revival architecture, plus ample parking. Opened in 1930, the church was an unmistakable symbol of faith and hope during the Great Depression, and it is every bit as magnificent today, thanks to a $2.5 million restoration in 2005. The parish subsequently expanded the adjacent school, ensuring that Blessed Sacrament will remain a community stalwart for years to come. Runner-up: Westside Christian
