Greetings!

There is such an overwhelming sense of Joy and Blessedness as reflect of the serenity and beauty of the Holy Triduum and the Joyous Easter! The church was filled with smiles and gladness of so many family members and friends! God most certainly has showered down His blessings on our parish. May He continue to pour graces upon each of us this Easter Season and Beyond! Let's Continue to Pray Together! Here are some pictures from this blessed time. They can always be found on our website at www.stpauljoliet.com and on the myParishapp pictures button.
Have a beautiful week and please let the parish office know if there is anything we can do for you. God bless ~
Our Parish Thank You ~
A huge thank you to Mahoney Environmental who donated an oil filter with filters for our fish fry! It was greatly appreciated and with their gift we were able to sell a lot of fish dinners that will benefit the schools athletic department.
