We worship in Wilmette but we’re part of one Catholic church throughout the world. One sign of our connection to the church in Chicago is our connection to our sharing parish.
Saint Thomas of Canterbury
For nearly 40 years, we have “twinned” with St. Thomas of Canterbury, a richly diverse parish in Chicago’s Uptown area that serves families from Vietnam, Eritrea, other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, Mexico, and Europe. In line with the parish’s character, St. Thomas School primarily serves immigrant or second-generation students and operates at full capacity. Over 95% of these students’ families have incomes below the poverty line. Graduates of St. Thomas attend leading public and Catholic high schools and go on to major colleges and universities.
Our relationship with St. Thomas offers Saints JFX parishioners incredible opportunities to live their discipleship. Many parishioners go to St. Thomas School every week to tutor students in math, history, and English. Saints JFX parishioners enable the school’s refugee support program through financial contributions. Our donations of food and food supplies enable St. Thomas to operate a food pantry and soup kitchen.
