St. Mary's Parish is a Christ-centered family which welcomes all members to continue their spiritual growth and religious education and to use their individual talents to assume shared responsibility for service and fellowship to our community.
Welcome to the St. Mary's Parish website. It is our hope that through these pages, all our visitors will be given a window into the life of a vibrant, active, inclusive and faith-filled community. As the pastor of St. Mary's, I have the great joy of witnessing the many ways our faith community prays together and takes an active role in being an outward sign of Christ in the local community. Regardless of whether you have been a member of St. Mary's for many years, you are new to our community, or you are just stopping in for a visit, please know that you are welcome here. Take some time to explore the content of our website and learn more about St Mary's Parish. We are always happy to see new faces, so if you would like to stop by and visit our parish, it would be a blessing for us to meet you.

Chris Underhill was an avid White Sox fan. It’s something everyone knew about him and something that he enjoyed doing with his family. Sports played such a big role in his life as a fan, and a coach. It was one way he knew how to bring people together. With this being said; friends, family, and co workers please join us June 25th, 2020 for what would have been his 40th birthday, so we can celebrate him by doing one of the things that he loved the most, with the people that he loved the most. $5 of each purchase will also go to the family as we would love to support them in this time!

Hosted by Father Ed Shea
Franciscan Father Ed Shea is the third of eight children from St. Giles Parish in Oak Park. A 1974 graduate of Fenwick High School and a 1978 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Father Shea joined the Franciscans in 1980 and was ordained a priest in 1987. Father Ed has spent most of his priesthood in parish work, including four years as the priest-presider for the St. Giles Family Mass Community in Oak Park, IL and five years as the pastor of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Joliet, IL.
He was also pastor of St. Joseph Parish, a predominantly Hispanic community in Chicago's famous Back of the Yards neighborhood. Father Ed has served on his Provinvial Council and as Director of Vocations and Formation for the Francisicans of the Sacred Heart Province. Father Ed is currently stationed at St. Peter's Church in downtown Chicago, since 2011. During the past several years, he has done a good deal of itinerant preaching in the Chicago area and beyond; he has spent some time living and working in Teutopolis, IL and he even went on a pilgrimmage to Tanzania, Africa! A Franciscan priest who loves to sing and tell stories, more than anything he thrives on celebrating the sacraments of the Church. A true follower of St. Francis, Father Ed finds reasons to rejoice often in the goodness of God's presence in our world.

All parishioners will receive a mailing from the Diocese of Joliet this month about the 2020 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal. Our annual appeal is vitally important to not only the diocese, but also to our parish as well. The CMAA supports 30 ministries that benefit every parish and allow us all to Be Kind and Merciful to the most vulnerable in our community.
Our parish's goal for the 2020 CMAA is $40,200.00 and 70% of any amount we raise over our goal will be returned to us. This is a great opportunity for our parish! Please review the materials, and then prayerfully reflect on your gift to this year's annual appeal.

RE NEWS
*Due to Fr. Tuan being gone and his desire to be with our 2nd graders for their Sacrament of Reconciliation, we will be postponing the Sacrament until Fr. Tuan comes back. We will keep you updated when planning the new date.
*The TOTUS TUUS program will be back at St. Mary's from July 25th until July 31st. There are 2 programs: Grades 1-6 will meet during the day Monday through Friday, and Grades 7-12 will meet in the evenings from Sunday until Thursday. More information and registration details coming soon!
WHAT IS TOTUS TUUS?
Totus Tuus is Latin for Totally Yours, named after St. John Paul II's papal motto. It is a fun and energetic parish-based summer catechetical program for grades 1-12. Totus Tuus gathers together college students and seminarians from across the United States onto teaching teams of four, in order to train them and send them out on the road to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. The teachers' youthfulness, energy, and ability to witness to the Faith, make them particularly effective with children and young adults.
Keep Us in Your Prayers
