FROM THE PASTOR:
Dear Parishioners,
We are in a time of confusion, a time of disbelief and emotional shock. What is going to happen next? What does all this mean? Read more.

Governor Pritzker has just announced a mandatory shelter-in-place order for the State of Illinois. What this means for our parishes is that effective 5 p.m. Saturday, March 21 through Tuesday, April 7:
- All churches and adoration chapels must be closed and locked until the order is lifted by the governor. Private prayer in any parish building must be discontinued until the order is lifted.
- There can be no live Stations of the Cross or any other gatherings anywhere on parish/school property, nor can any parish personnel be involved in organizing them on any other site.
- All weddings and baptisms must be postponed and can be re-scheduled only once the order is lifted. There are no exceptions to this, regardless of the size of the group. However, in case of an extreme emergency for baptism, please seek the permission of your bishop.
Funerals and wakes must be postponed until the order is lifted.

PLEASE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO USE ELECTRONIC GIVING.
