Greetings!
What a blessed and busy weekend we had! First Holy Communion on Saturday where our young ladies and gentlemen came before God and received the bread of life. Seeing them all so excited shows just how strong their love for Jesus and their faith is! Please continue to pray for them as they continue on their journeys!
Then on Sunday all the moms were celebrated! Fr. Mark’s Mothers Day homily brought smiles, laughter and maybe even tears as he shared a blessed memory.
And we keep on with that momentum as we get ready for the Nash Bash this weekend! Hope to see all you cowboys and cowgirls in your country finest!
Many things happening here at St. Paul's ~ stay tuned!

Have a beautiful week and please let the parish office know if there is anything we can do for you. God bless ~ |

Thank you to everyone who helped make this years first holy communion a perfect day!
Prayer After Holy Communion
Oh my dear Jesus, welcome, welcome, a thousand times!Thank you for coming into my heart. You have given Yourself to me. I give myself to you: my body and my soul. I want to belong to You alone. Help me always do what You want me to do. I want to keep close to You all my life and to be happy with You in Heaven.
Dear Jesus, bless my family. Take care of our priests and deacons, who are so good to me, and also my teachers and friends.
Oh dear Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Alter, have mercy on Your children one and all. AMEN

Our Dream Renovation Begins...
May 28th & 29th will be the last weekend masses celebrated in the church before we move masses in the Gymnasium for the Summer. Starting Monday, May 30th, 7:30am, daily and weekend masses will be celebrated in the school gym. Entrances will be front doors to the gym atrium and the back door by the back school parking lot. Both are handicap accessible to welcome all!
Our worship this summer may look a little different, but the pure Christian joy being felt in our pews these days will only continue to grow!
Jesus in the Gym has never been so Joy-Filled!

Who Wants a Pew?
Did we ever tell you the New Pews being installed this summer are the Exact Same Design as a different committee had picked out in 1995? We weren’t able to accomplish this dream all those years ago, but we are able to do so today through the generosity of SO many!
Please call the parish office at 815-725-1527 if you’d like one of our existing pews! They will be pulled out the week of May 30. They are available to anyone who lets us know by May 26. Pickup only.

Starting Saturday, June 4th, the confessions will be heard in the Ministry Center. As in the church, this peaceful and holy time will still be offered at 8:30am Saturday mornings, hosted by our lovely Hospitality Ministers, with
Fr Mark hearing confessions either Face-to-Face or Private.
Come experience the release and joy this precious sacrament offers to us.

St. Thomas the Apostle, 1500 Brookdale Road, Naperville, invites you to celebrate the sacrament of the anointing of the sick in the celebration of the Mass in honor of St. Dymphna at 1 pm on Saturday, May 21.
As a Catholic community of faith, we have the holy sacraments to give us strength, nourishment and healing. Anyone, of all ages, can benefit from the sacrament of anointing-as many times as needed! There are no limits to anointing, as we are all in need of healing of various troubling conditions-physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.
St. Dymphna is the patron saint of people living with illnesses in body, mind or spirit. Her mother died when Dymphna was 17. Her father struggled with emotional issues following his wife’s death. These difficulties led to St. Dymphna’s martyrdom. Cures and miracles were attributed to her and as a result highly successful treatment centers are named for her. Please come to celebrate her life and to receive the sacrament of the anointing of the sick. For information please call the main office at 630.355.8980 or contact Susan Kearney at sdkearney@comcast.net.
