Preparing for the Holy Night of Easter.

The Blessing of Easter Baskets takes place today, Holy Saturday, at 12:00 Noon in the Parish Center.

"Behold the wood of the cross, on which hung the salvation of the world! Come, let us adore!"

Join us today at 3:00 PM for Good Friday of the Lord's Passion. All are invited to come forward to adore the Cross of Christ.

As we joyfully celebrate Palm Sunday, we embark on the sacred journey of Holy Week, commemorating Christ's Journey. Let us reflect on His teachings of love, sacrifice, and redemption as we prepare for the solemn observance of Holy Thursday, the profound solemnity of Good Friday, and the blessings of the Sacred Triduum. Don't forget to bring your Easter baskets for blessing on Holy Saturday at Noon, and join us for the Easter Vigil as we rejoice in the resurrection of our Savior!

Holy Thursday: 7:00pm
Good Friday: 3:00pm
Holy Saturday Blessing of Baskets: Noon
Easter Vigil: 7:30pm
Easter Sunday: 7:00am, 8:15am, 9:45am, and 11:15am.

Join us as we come together in prayer and adoration during this peaceful and reflective time. The evening will begin with the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, a sacred moment where the Eucharist is displayed in a monstrance, inviting us into deeper communion with Jesus Christ. It's a time for personal prayer, meditation, and adoration in His presence.

As the hour draws to a close, we will conclude with the Benediction, a beautiful and solemn blessing that reminds us of God's infinite love and grace. This is a powerful way to receive spiritual renewal and strength.

Whether you're looking for peace, have intentions to pray for, or simply wish to spend time in the presence of the Lord, this Holy Hour is a perfect opportunity. Let's gather as a community in faith and love. See you there! 🕊✨

Lenten Challenge Lent gives us an annual time to reboot or reset ourselves through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. This year, I encourage you to identify one or two “glitches...

Dear Faith Filled Members of our Community,

It has been an awesome start to Lent! Thank you for your concerns for the safety of our Staff, and for me personally. I would like to thank the Wheaton Police Department who have responded to our needs with the utmost of care. The person in question has been served an Order of Trespass and can not visit our facilities. This level of security is a welcome relief.

May God continue to send His Angels to watch over us! Let’s get on with Lent!

Fr John

Dear Faith Filled Members of our Community,

As we get ready to begin our journey into Lent we are reminded of the real danger of evil. Yesterday, February 12, at approximately 3:45pm, a person in a green SUV approached our building. The offices were closed and the Staff had already concluded their responsibilities for the day. All of this occurred while I was in my upstairs office preparing to leave for a home visit for the Anointing of the Sick. I was not aware this was happening. The person of interest went to every entrance trying all of the doors that were locked and even tried to open a window. He also used our key pads punching in random numbers to try to get inside our premises. This is very disturbing and very bold. We do have him on video camera and have shared all of our footage with the Wheaton Police Dept.

I invite you as a Parish to be aware and attentive. If you are driving in this area take the time to pass by. If you see something that doesn’t seem quite right, do something, call the Police. As a community we will put our trust in God and in His power to overcome all evil.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, we will not let evil prevail nor let this distract us. Our Masses are at 7:30 am, Noon, 4:30 pm and 7:00pm. We are called to find our identity in the Cross of Christ, our first step is tomorrow.

Fr. John
