Mission Statement:
We honor the traditions of our parish and welcome all to unite in prayer and the Sacraments. Loved by God and guided by the Holy Spirit, we share the good news of Jesus Christ through joyful worship, faithful formation, and dedicated service.
Annual Catholic Appeal

This weekend marks the beginning of the Archdiocese of Chicago's Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA). If you've contributed to this appeal in past years, you may have already received information in the mail; there will also be donation envelopes in our Church pews this weekend. We invite you to consider the benefits of the ACA to our own parish, as well as the local and universal Church, and respond with a generous pledge. Any money raised above our goal of $154,000 will come back to our parish and help to fund some urgent capital needs. The ACA can be viewed as a vehicle to view our baptismal call to support our parish needs, as well as those of our local and Universal Church. Please consider contributing to this important appeal.

Unity Prayer

Most gracious and loving Lord,
Send us your Holy Spirit.

As we come together as one body in your Holy name,
fill us with your love and grace.
Guide us.
Open our eyes to see You in each other.
Open our ears to humbly hear Your words.
Illuminate our minds to understand,
And transform our hearts to grow together as one.
Create a new spirit in us to share our gifts with one another.
Unite us in peace and faith so we may be one in Jesus Christ our Lord
