 Making all things new … God’s promise and our responsibility Many families in our parish will be receiving the Annual Catholic Appeal mailing from Cardinal Cupich. On behalf of those served by the ministries, parishes, and schools that receive funding from the Appeal, we thank you for your gifts. Please return your response as soon as possible. The Annual Catholic Appeal offers a wonderful opportunity to answer the call “Making all things new … God’s promise and our responsibility.” In addition to providing for ministries and services throughout the archdiocese, the Appeal also funds services that are of great help here in our parish. As we contemplate God’s many gifts to us, we should also reflect on our gratitude. Your financial support for the work of our parish, our archdiocese, and the Church throughout the world is one way to express this gratitude. Please give what you can to the 2022 Annual Catholic Appeal. Click here for more information on the 2022 Annual Catholic Appeal.  Please join us to support Catholic Charities’ programs in Cook and Lake Counties

In response to the increased numbers of breakthrough Covid cases, we will add a car Mass to the January schedule. It’s especially important to keep the vulnerable parishioners of Saints JFX safe and encourage regular reception of the Eucharist. The new time for our temporary reinstatement of the car Mass will be at 9:00 am in the Saint Joseph School parking lot. While the car Mass is in operation, we will discontinue the drive-through distribution of Communion after the 10:30 am Mass. I am grateful to the staff and volunteers for their willingness to go the extra mile. We will need volunteers to make this happen. It is an extra Mass, so we need lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, and help with parking logistics. Please contact Anne Hrabe if you are willing and able to help. The plan is to continue this Mass for the month of January. Hopefully, by then, the latest strain of the virus will be behind us, and we can all be safely back in church, worshipping our Lord and receiving the Eucharist as a community of faith. Peace, Rev. Wayne F. Watts |
