If you haven’t heard, Father Francis recently celebrated his TEN YEAR anniversary as a priest! He has said on many occasions how much he loves being a priest—and it shows! Since his arrival to St. Josaphat parish in July of 2017, he has helped to renew our Church, celebrated sacraments with us, shared in our parish festivals and brought so many people closer to Jesus.

We invite you to drop off a card at the parish office, or email him your notes of congratulations!

Lord Jesus, we thank you for the gift of Father Francis. We are so grateful for his years of service to you and your people. Pour your blessings upon him for all he will continue to achieve in your name. Amen.

Each year, refugee youth in Chicago benefit from RefugeeOne’s 6-week summer camp, which helps them continue to learn, grow, and develop over the summer. Can you help out with a donation of toys and equipment? We’re also looking for 6 drivers to help us deliver the items. Read More >
