Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Milwaukee, WI
Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
This church designed for the Greek orthodox congregation in the suburbs of Milwaukee was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last commissions. In the last few years of his life he completed almost seventy works, several of which illustrate his interest in the circular form. (See, for example his Guggenheim Museum in New York City.) Wright died, however, in 1959 before the ground breaking of the church.
Wright's circular design uses two important elements from Greek Orthodox churches, the dome and the Greek cross. The shallow concrete dome (106 feet in diameter) is superimposed on a floor plan in the shape of a Greek cross; the Greek cross inscribed within a circle is a key design element in the details of the church as well.

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Around Milwaukee County (#701)
[Latest Airdate: April 19, 2018]
[Original Airdate: January 11, 2018]
For this one episode, we let our talent choose content. Historian John Gurda wanted to tell you about one of his favorite places on earth, Seminary Woods. Sports guy Mike McGiven couldn't
choose between Milwaukee King High School baseball and the Running Rebels, so we did both.
And John McGivern is FULL of ideas, so we had to narrow his list to food, classics and who knew? segments. We only allowed two food choices (not the 10 he originally suggested!): Mr. Dye's Pies and C-viche.
This episode's Milwaukee classics are Summerfest, the SV Denis Sullivan, Foamation, Inc. (a.k.a., the Cheesehead Factory), and Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church.
And the who knew ideas that we loved include Olympus Group Mascot Division, MATC's Dental Technician program, Yellow Wood Gear and Cobalt Glass.
We love Milwaukee County. Mayor Barrett, get ready to come up with a different 30 seconds for next season because we may do this every year from now on!

Christ King Chapel Walk Thru
Fr. Don Hying
St. Francis de Sales Seminary
In Christ King Chapel, nestled within the oldest continually operating seminary in the United States, the faithful have gathered for Mass since the 1800's. The stained-glass windows, Stations of the Cross and a candle for each of the twelve apostles along the walls, and hymns resounding from the pipe organ enfold participants in the liturgical traditions of the Catholic faith. For generations, seminarians preparing for priesthood have gathered here for the Holy Mass, and Heart of the Nation invites you to pray for vocations whenever you join us for Sunday Mass.
Established in 1845 by Father John Martin Henni in his home, the seminary's current campus opened ten years later. Fr. Henni envisioned a bilingual seminary to ordain priests who would serve a burgeoning population of immigrants from Germany.
Brick for the seminary was manufactured on site, using trees to fuel two large kilns. Made from a clay uniquely found around Milwaukee, the Cream City brick was also shipped to Chicago to raise money.
In an unusual field for her time, stained-glass artist Marie Herndl created the six chapel windows depicting scenes from Jesus' life. She won medals for her work at the 1893 and 1904 World's Fairs.
Henni Hall, the main building on campus and home of Christ King Chapel, rises five stories and overlooks Lake Michigan. In Wisconsin's winters before modern heating was installed, icicles sometimes hung from the ceilings in Henni Hall. Shivering seminarians dubbed it the Crystal Palace.
Father Henni became Milwaukee's first bishop. Father Michael Heiss, the seminary's first rector, became Milwaukee's second archbishop. As procurator (business manager) for the new seminary, Father Joseph Salzmann traveled extensively to raise money and gather books. Along the walls of Christ King Chapel, the headstones of Archbishop Heiss and Father Salzmann are visible on either side of the altar. Fr. Henni is interred at Milwaukee's cathedral.
Celebrating the 125th anniversary of the seminary, alumni had a painting on linen commissioned for the chapel. The painting, which hangs behind the chapel altar, is called, I Make All Things New and portrays Christ surrounded by cherubim and the four Gospel evangelists. Red represents suffering and blood, while gold leaf in the tapestry symbolizes eternity.
