Consecration to Jesus Through Mary

ARE YOU READY for God to take over the wheel? No matter where you are in your spiritual life, Consecration to Jesus Through Mary is a sure way to open up your life to the power of God. During Lent all are invited to join other parish members as we journey to Jesus through Mary using "33 Days to Morning Glory" by Michael Gailtey. Please pray and see if Mary is beckoning you to a closer union with her Son! There will be an informational meeting at the St. Patrick's Rectory Meeting Room (Omega Room) on Monday March 10 at 7:00pm where you can see the materials and a short DVD. We will meet at the same time and place on the 6 Monday nights from March 24 leading up to our Consecration Day on April 28th. You only need 5 - 10 minutes a day during the 33 days to complete the consecration! Call Sue Calderon at 223-0641 or Nicole Molina at 579-2431 for more information.

Letter from Bishop Jenky

Bishop Jenky's 2014 Festival Letter: The Holy Bible

Bishop Daniel Jenky's twelfth annual festival letters announces the feasts of this new year and teaches us about this history, interpretation and meaning of God's Revelation to us in Sacred Scripture.

Let us make a study of the Bible a part of our new year's spiritual discipline. Bishop Jenky will help get us started.

2014 History Fair

Our Trinity Catholic Academy Seventh Grade class is participating in the Illinois History Fair. Each student researched and created a presentation illustrating the history of local landmarks, institutions, and businesses. After the judging, our students and families gathered to explore the exhibits (and enjoy the refreshments!). See more images at the TCA photo page.

Help Protect the St. Patrick Windows

The beautiful stained glass windows of St. Patrick Church were installed in 1903 as part of the renovation to celebrate the Golden Jubilee. The windows were inspected by Church Art Glass, Inc., that specializes in Stained Glass Windows throughout the country. We have received an estimate to do the needed repairs to prolong the life of the windows. The total cost to repair the 20 windows of the church is $22,665.00 - but there is a fund that will match dollar for dollar what is raised for this preservation effort! If you wish to contribute, simply put your donation in the envelope in the pew marked St. Patrick's Windows. Your generous support is appreciated.

St. Hyacinth History

The Internet Polish Genealogy Source has included some of the history of St. Hyacinth in their collection.

Thank You!

Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped us plow sidewalks, shovel stairs, and spread salt during last week’s polar vortex! So many of you came out with shovels and snow blowers to help us keep all our Masses as scheduled.
