E-Bulletin - August 1, 2026



Dear Friend,

August is upon us! It's time to enjoy the last few weeks of summer as soon, and very soon, we'll be enjoying the return of students to our campus for the start of school.

August also marks a transition at our parish to the start of our new Mass time for daily Mass which will now be held at 8:30am on week day mornings beginning Monday, August 3 . We hope that this new time is a convenient time for individuals to attend daily Mass prior to heading off to a work day.

God is constantly rushing into our lives to fill us with his grace. What a wonderful opportunity we have to embrace that grace by recalling the sacred mystery of his dying and rising from the dead in daily Mass.

We hope that you will join us. Daily Mass is held Monday through Friday at 8:30am.

Dear Friend,

Summer has finally brought us the hotter weather to which we are accustomed and dense smoke from Canadian wildfires to which we are not accustomed. We hope that you are staying cool, hydrated, and in good health. Amidst the increasing temperature, be sure to watch out for vulnerable friends and neighbors who may be affected by the heat.

Its good to remember that the City of Chicago has numerous cooling centers around the city which can be located online or by calling 311.

Whatever your summer looks like or wherever your journeys lead you, be sure to go with God and keep praising God for his many wonders!
