Seasons of Hope

At Saints Peter & Paul, Seasons of Hope is a unique, Christ-centered Catholic support group for the bereaved. Sessions are intended for the bereaved who have lost a spouse, family member or close friend through death.

The program is divided into four, six-week sessions, called Seasons, which are held throughout the year. Participants may join at the beginning of any Season by registering with either Deacon Joe Verdico, 630-718-2155 or our parish nurse, Paulette Shea, 630-718-2127. You may attend any or all Seasons.

All sessions are held on Monday evenings, 6:30—8:00 pm in the St. Paul Center for the New Evangelization (corner of Benton & Brainard streets). There is no charge to attend the sessions, but pre-registration is required.

Saints Peter and Paul's Hope for Tanzania was recently featured in the Daily Herald.

Bible Study

Books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers

January 23 to May 9

Mondays 7–9 p.m.

Tuesdays 9:15–11:15 a.m.

in the Ministry Center Social Hall

The upcoming Bible Study will focus on the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. Michael Lewandowski will present on how to understand Moses and the Exodus account, with a special emphasis on how these Old Testament books relate to Christ.

The study will endeavor to help the reader understand and appreciate God’s saving providence for the children of Israel. In addition, we will investigate the Passover, the journey in the wilderness, and God’s established system of worship that foreshadows Christ and the Mass. We will also see how the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist, are foreshadowed in these books.

Please bring a Bible and a pen. Notes will be provided each week for all Bible Study participants.

February 24-26, 2023 

An Ignatian, Silent Weekend Retreat for Adults

What are the Spiritual Exercises?

In an age where the Church was being ripped apart by theological debate, St. Ignatius Loyola was led by God to help people experience God’s love directly. Five hundred years later, Jesuit Priest Fr. Michael Sparough, SJ, and Episcopal Priest Fr. Al Johnson, are teaming up to share insights from their own experience of St Ignatius' soul enriching, life changing program of spiritual renewal. This is a retreat for both those new to The Spiritual Exercises as well as veterans of many retreats. Join these two dynamic preachers and prayer leaders in a deep ecumenical dive into the heart of Ignatian spirituality.

Acting on requests of several past Bellarmine women retreatants, the retreat has been opened to both men and women. It will not be a couples retreat although couples are invited.
