Greetings!

Hope you are having a beautiful week. Thought we'd pass along a message from Bishop Hicks. Don't forget to check your mailboxes for a letter from the Bishop's office and His prayer intention invitation. If you didn't get one in the mail, you may email Bishop Hicks at development@dioceseofjoliet.org with your prayer intention request. Bishop Hicks will be praying for all of our desires this November.

Bishop Hicks Celebrates the Month of the Rosary

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 ~

Underware for ALL!

Thank you goes out to all who so generously donated to the Catholic Charities Undy Sunday drive! You really stepped it up. THANKS!

And a special shout out to our own Lydia Pultorak who humbly and selflessly serves others quietly for His greater glory. Not only does she lead the Samaritan Sunday ministry drives, but she serves every Saturday mass by video taping and uploading our weekly mass. God bless you Miss Lydia!

Our Parish Library is Always open to you! Stop by to pick out a beautiful book or share a cup of coffee with a friend. Because of awesome donations from so many, there are some really fantastic books here for you. Pope John Paul II, Saints, meditations, cook books, healing, marriage, forgiveness, Medjugorje, personal growth, so much ~ really some fantastic reads! Here's a best seller that we have a couple copies of by Mitch Albom. Oh, tons of Michael Kelly too. Hope to see you soon~

OCTOBER IS ROSARY MONTH

So most of us grew up praying the rosary and watching others pray this beautiful prayer. Maybe we smile when we remember the particular rate of speed at which some of our family members used to pray it. Our Lady has promised to petition for us to her Son through this prayer. The Knights of Columbus has written a short article about 5 reasons we should pray the rosary. For these and countless others, the rosary is a powerful tool available to us all always.

Please click here for the full KofC article.

RE invites all to pray the Rosary most Mondays in October. Next Mon, Oct 18, we will be praying the Glorious Mysteries together.
