SELLING BUTTER BRAIDS DURING ALL MASSES OCT 30/31!

Our St. Francis de Sales 8th graders are headed to Washington D.C. in May for their class trip. 100% of the proceeds from this fundraiser go directly to the students to reduce the cost of the trip. The school does not receive any of the profits. Students will be selling before and after all masses the weekend of Oct 30/31 at the both entrances of the church.  Please contact Nichole Alivia with questions- 224-239-3914.

Thank you for supporting our 8th grade students!

PARISH ALL SOULS’ MASS | TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 7 PM

PARISH ALL SOULS’ MASS

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 7 PM

In our Catholic tradition, during the entire month of November, we pray for our loved ones who have died. Most especially, we remember them on November 2, the Commemoration of All Souls. All who grieve the loss of someone special, whether recently or years ago, are invited to attend the 7 pm All Souls’ Mass on Tuesday, November 2nd to pray and light a candle for loved ones who have died. 

To remember those whom we mourn in a tangible way and make their presence a part of this special liturgy, you are invited to bring a memento to place on a memory table prior to Mass. The memento might be a picture of your loved one or some other small article that means a great deal to you as you remember them. If you have questions, please contact the parish office.

A BIG shout out to the 11am parking lot Mass volunteers!!!!

A BIG shout out to the 11am parking lot Mass volunteers!!!! 

A BIG shout out to the 11am parking lot Mass volunteers!!!!  Thank you for enabling those who are not able to come inside church to attend Sunday Mass and c receive Jesus.  

To volunteer for our Welcome Ministry inside or out in our parking lot, please email
growdisciples12@gmail.com

“My husband and I are continuing to attend Mass in the parking lot at 11:00 a.m. on Sundays, listening via FM 89.9.  My husband has a compromised immune system so we are trying our best to avoid any crowds during this pandemic, thusly really appreciate the opportunity to attend Mass in this way.  There are usually about 30 to 40 other cars on any given Sunday as well.  Thank you to all those folks who continue to help us in the parking lot every Sunday for the 11:00 a.m. Mass.   We have the men who usher for us and the Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist (especially Bernie) who bring Holy Communion to our cars
every Sunday, and those who make the Mass available via the radio.”

236 US HWY 45, INDIAN CREEK, IL 60061

9:15am | Registration

9:30am-12:30pm | Workshop 

Lectors have a critical role in the celebration of the Mass. Because lectors proclaim not just any word, but the Word of God, it is essential that they develop the skills required to communicate God's Message competently.

Through the use of voice, eye contact, and personal presence, lectors help God's Word come alive for the assembly. 

This training will provide the skills and self-confidence needed for those who wish to become lectors in their own parish. 

Open to adults and high school students. 

This training is for NEW ministers only.

Blood Drive Nov 10th

$15 E-Gift Card for all donors!

 Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 in our communities, we are facing an immediate need for blood donations.  Many blood drives have had to canceled, which has led to a dramatic drop in blood donations in recent weeks. In our efforts to keep the shelves filled with blood at our hospitals, Versiti Blood Center will be sending all  donors a $15 e-gift card as a token of appreciation in helping us save lives in our community. 

Who benefits from blood donation?

At Versiti Blood Center of Illinois, formerly 
Heartland Blood Centers, we never forget the patients who receive the blood we collect.
Every unit of blood is collected from volunteer donors who meet specific criteria and have been screened according to strict guidelines. Every unit (pint) is collected, transported,
tested and stored according to tightly-controlled procedures.

• Cancer: up to 8 units/month

• Bone Marrow Transplant: up to 2 units/day

THIS SATURDAY -- PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY CRUSADE

Announcing the 104th Anniversary 2021

PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY CRUSADE

The world is at a crossroad. God is more offended than ever as people ignore Our Lady’s maternal request to “stop offending God.” Yes, we must listen to Our Lady’s re-quest and stop sinning if we hope to enjoy God’s blessings and to avert His wrath. He will hear us, if we pray through the intercession of His Blessed Mother. That’s why we’re doing the 2021 Public Square Rosary Crusade. In The Secret of the Rosary, Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort said: “Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffering.”

JOIN THE 2021 PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY CRUSADE TODAY! 

Saturday October 16th Noon at the POW Monument - across from Library
