Today, we observe two meaningful occasions: Memorial Day and the memorial of Blessed Mary, Mother of the Church. As we remember those who gave their lives in service to our country, we also turn to Mary, Mother of the Church, asking her to pray for us and for all who have sacrificed for our freedom.

Annual Memorial Day Mass:
May 25, 2026 | 9:00 AM | Saint Mary Cemetery
Please bring a lawn chair.

This weekend, we celebrate Pentecost, often called the birthday of the Church. Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as the “Advocate.” The Latin word for lawyer is “advocatus.” Like a lawyer, the Holy Spirit defends and guides us. So, when you’re in trouble, don’t forget — ask for your lawyer, and do what he tells you.
See you at Mass!

This weekend, we celebrate World Communications Day and continue to rejoice in the Ascension of the Lord.

Blessing for Communications:
Dear Jesus,

Amen.

The Ascension of the Lord marks the day Jesus' earthly ministry ended, and his heavenly ministry began. Christ's ministry continues to this day at the right hand of the Father in Heaven.

In the Archdiocese of Chicago, the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord is celebrated on Sunday, May 17, 2026, rather than the traditional Thursday. This Sunday observance is standard for the Province of Illinois, marking the Seventh Sunday of Easter and the conclusion of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances.
