Greetings!
Well, after months and months of planning and preparing, the renovation has finally begun! Thank you to everyone who in one way or another has helped get us to this point. Many hands make light work, and our church is blessed to have to so many that were willing to offer their time and talents.
Each week there will be photo updates and progress reports to share. How exciting to watch the transformation as it happens! As we enjoy "Jesus in Gym", it may be a little different, but the message is always the same!
|
|
Have a beautiful week and please let the parish office know if there is anything we can do for you. God bless ~ |
|
The beautiful cloth adorning our altar this summer was lovingly hand stitched by Mrs. Ginna Jones.
Thank you, Ginna, for sharing your amazing talents with our parish!

With humbled hearts of gratitude, we start our Church Renovation Dream! Week One was busy with final preparations for 'Jesus in the Gym' Masses this summer, clearing out all remaining items in the church, and hosting a crew of amazing volunteers and JCA football players to remove the pews. Thank You to SO many volunteers this week... the transformation has begun!
Week Two starts Monday with Asbestos Removal from under all Flooring!!!

'Jesus in the Gym' masses are all set up and ready for parishioners and guests to celebrate masses Trinity this weekend and all summer! Daily mass goers have been great with ideas and suggestions, and volunteers continue to tweak and adjust as requests come along. We have expanded handicapped parking and seating with chair arms for those with mobility needs. Please let us know how we can best serve you this weekend and beyond!
A special note with one of the pictures below: Our temporary altar in the gym has the Altar Stone with Relic that was used in our St Paul's convent altar. We are so blessed to have that in our worship this summer!

Save the Date!
Our 2nd Annual St Paul Feast Day Celebration is
Wednesday, June 29th.
Weather permitting we will celebrate this memorable evening with Mass on the Grass, a tasty BBQ and a couple of fun surprises.
Who's going to win the Trophy this year?!?!
It's BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair if you can) if we're outside. The good news is that if it rains again, the gym is already set up for mass for us! LOL
We ask that you please RSVP to the parish office at 815-725-1527 or parishoffice@stpauljoliet.com so there is enough food for a great evening. If you'd like to bring your favorite dessert to share, we'd all LOVE that!
Life's Short~ Eat Dessert First!
