Does anyone know of any Catholic Churches in the Chicago area that have traditional confessional booths still?

Thanks in advance!

St. Hedwig's on Webster & Hoyne in Bucktown. Most older cathedral type churches should have them.

In the Loop the Franciscan's have big crowds at St. Peter's -- St. Peter's in the loop

West Loop has Old St. Pat's where ol' shortshanks has lots of sins to confess -- Old St. Patrick's Church

South Loop has Old St. Marys but their new building is not as convenient as the when they were under the Wabash El -- Welcome to Old St. Mary's Catholic Church in Chicago, Illinois

River North has the historic Assumption http://aasumption-chcgo.org

Near west side has Holy Family -- Welcome to Holy Family Parish

Ukranian Village has St. John Cantius -- St John Cantius Parish

There are many more Catholic churches that were built in the old style of European Basilicas...
Chicago has a single Cathederal for the Chicago Archdiocese -- http://holynamecatheederal.org

Newer churches (or older churches that have been remodeled) tend to have more of a room that can have a couple of chairs and a place to kneel instead of the the setup which only allows for kneeling....
