Parish History
We are a Catholic faith community located just north of the city of Chicago.
Our parish is essentially a group of modern day followers of Jesus, gathered in local community to love God and to serve others with skill, creativity and compassion. As Catholic Christians we are part of a tradition which has endured in good times and bad for twenty centuries.
The word Catholic implies inclusiveness. Despite our differences, we are united in faith, hope and love. Generous of heart, we support sharing parishes, a monthly food drive and are committed to the struggles of the church.
After two years of strategic planning and restructuring, we now have a parish council, finance council and five commissions: Worship / Spiritual Life, Education / Formation, Community Life, Outreach and Administration made up of lay people who are involved in all aspects of decision-making.
