Please join us for a special celebration to honor Fr. Dominic J. Grassi's 50th Anniversary of Priesthood at our 10:00 am Mass this Sunday, May 7th. A reception will follow immediately after Mass in the school gym. All are invited!

Fr. Grassi graduated with the Class of 1973 from Saint Mary of the Lake in Mundelein. He celebrated his first Mass as a priest at his home church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Fr. Dom was our beloved pastor at St. Josaphat from 1987-2005, and was named Pastor Emeritus this past November. He is credited (among other things) with the creation of our Boomers Group, our Community Park, our annual Pet Blessing ceremony and our parish slogan, "A Church To Come Home To".

Although retired, you'll still find Fr. Dom at our church doing what he loves best - celebrating the Mass.

Congratulations, Fr. Grassi - we are blessed to have you!

THIS SUNDAY, May 7th at the 10:00am Mass we will adorn Mary with flowers. All children are encouraged to attend with a flower to present to Mary. First Communicants are encouraged to wear their communion garb and receive their 2nd communion!

Mark your calendar for 10am Mass on Sunday, May 21st where we will bid happy retirement to our Pastoral Associate, Mary Jane Sullivan. If you’d like to send Mary Jane a card or message in honor of her retirement, please send it to St. Josaphat Parish, Attn: Mary Jane Sullivan, 2311 N. Southport, Chicago, IL 60614 by Friday, May 19.

It’s that time again! Pick up a baby bottle, help a mother in need. Aid for Women helps women who are facing difficult, unplanned pregnancies. We’ll be handing out baby bottles after all the Masses on Mother’s Day weekend. Take a bottle, drop your change in it for a few weeks, and return it to the parish by the end of May. The money will help Aid For Women provide material support and counseling services for pregnant women, and assist them in accessing other community services.
