News & Events
As we listen to and watch our very own Jim Hahn play Taps at St. Francis, let us take a moment to honor those who served our nation and are no longer with us. Have a blessed Memorial Day.
St. Francis is currently working with the Archdiocese of Chicago on its Reopening plan. The plan consists of several phases; each phase includes specific guidelines that we are currently implementing. More information will be provided as it becomes available. Please watch the website and Facebook for updates.
1. Phase I allows for parishes to reopen for Baptism, Reconciliation, Weddings and Funerals with a limit of 10 attendees. 2. Phase IA allows for parishes to reopen for private prayer and adoration with a limit of 10 attendees. 3. Phase II allows for reopening for weekday and weekend Masses for larger groups depending on the guidelines from the state and the capacity of the church building. 
Fr. Jay offers live streaming masses on his Facebook Page from the rectory weekdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 12:00 pm. Visit his Facebook page
Ever-faithful Companion,
Help us to always find You, God, in all things, especially in this time of uncertainty, as we navigate disruptions to the familiar and heightened anxieties. Make us attentive to the kernels of hope, in-breaks of joy, and invitations to stillness that subtly saturate our lives. In these gifts and in all glimpses of grace, may we find sustenance. Remind us often of our call to community. And, in responding to the need for social distancing, awaken us to the summons to foster creative community. Inspire us to reach beyond the boundaries of isolation. In so doing, help us to link heart and hand with You in caring for the vulnerable and in laboring for a more compassionate and humane world at this time and at all times. Amen.

I'm New
Our Mission ~ The St. Francis of Assisi community is a welcoming Christian family. We believe in Jesus Christ, and are guided by the Holy Spirit and the example of St. Francis. We gather to celebrate, to grow in the knowledge of our faith rooted in the Catholic tradition, and to recognize our responsibility to reach out to the world. |
You & Your Family
The life and vitality of St. Francis of Assisi thrives on the commitment of the many people involved in the various ministries of the parish. Currently, we have over 30 committees and ministries for all ages. We encourage you to consider participation in one or more of these areas. |
