A Message from Our Pastor

Dear Parishioners,

Many couples choose the second reading from today's liturgy for their wedding ceremony (1Cor. 12:31-13:13).   It is the all familiar "Love is".   "Love is patient…is kind…not jealous…not inflated… not rude…does not rejoice over wrong doing but rejoices with the truth." ( 13:4-6)

I often wonder how frequently couples remember their reading when difficulties or hardships enter their married life.

Catholics Come Home

If you have been away from the practice of the faith and are returning to church, please stop at the table in the Church narthex to have your questions answered.  Or give Fr. Gene a call (847-223-4731) to set an appointment if you so desire.  We welcome you back home!  And we are here to journey with you and support you in any ways we can.


Confirmation for Adults
If you are a baptized Catholic adult who has received your First Communion but has not been Confirmed, here is an opportunity for you.  Once again our area parishes will conduct a series of instructions for you.  You are required to attend all eight sessions to be held on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm – 9:00pm at St. Mary of the Annunciation parish in Mundelein (Fremont). 

For further information and to register call our parish (847-223-4731).   You'll also need a copy of your baptismal certificate.

DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE…

who is searching for God in their life?
Someone who is trying to make sense of what is happening in their life? Perhaps that person is YOU?
