A widow raising four children and operating a home for the elderly and still found time to pursue her dream. She made plans to build a home near Rose Lane and Schoenbeck Road. In her plans she designed a complete church in t

he basement with two entrances and exits, proper ventilation, a bathroom, and a furnace. James Parish who lived in Prospect Heights were invited to a meeting to discuss the possibility of having their own parish. The group initially voted down the idea. Rose then went to the pastor at St. James, Father George Steir, and together they asked permission of Cardinal Stritch to start a mission church. Cardinal Stritch gave his blessing and plans began to start the new parish. Rose's enthusiasm became contagious. Her relatives and friends made the altar and donated church accessories. Neighboring parishes gave chairs, kneelers, and altar rails. Rose, at her own expense, donated linen tablecloths, vestments, statues and a parking lot. The first Mass in Prospect Heights was held January 15, 1956 on Rose's 64th birthday in her basement chapel. In July of that year, the first pastor, Father Anthony Burke, was assigned to the new parish. The parish had graduated from a mission church and received the name of St. Alphonsus by Cardinal Stritch and the Chancellory Office. Alphonsus was the middle name of Cardinal Stritch. Alphonsus was a 17th Century scholar and the founder of the Redemptorist Order. In September, 1958, Bishop Hellinger dedicated the newly built $600,000 St. Alphonsus School and Convent. The school could hold 450 pupils (this even before the wing was added) and 480 families were enrolled in the parish. Rose passed away in 1962, but she saw her wonderful dreams become fulfilled.

Sunday, May 31st -
Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity 🙏🏻

Holy Trinity Sunday invites us to reflect on the beautiful mystery of God's love.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not simply three names, but three Persons united in perfect love and communion. This feast reminds us that we are created in that same love and called to share it with others.

As we celebrate Holy Trinity Sunday, we are encouraged to draw closer to God who is always present in our lives - guiding us as a loving Father, walking beside us in Jesus Christ, and strengthening us through the Holy Spirit.
The mystery of the Holy Trinity teaches us that love, unity, and relationship are at the very heart of our faith.

May this celebration inspire us to live with greater faith, hope, and love, reflecting God's presence in our families, communities, and daily lives.

Have a blessed Sunday! 🙏🏻

Niedziela, Maj 31 -
Uroczystość Świętej Trójcy 🙏🏻

Uroczystość Trójcy Przenajświętszej zaprasza nas do refleksji nad piękną tajemnicą Bożej miłości.
Ojciec, Syn i Duch Święty nie są jedynie trzema imionami, lecz trzema Osobami zjednoczonymi w doskonałej miłości i komunii. To święto przypomina nam, że zostaliśmy stworzeni z tej samej miłości i jesteśmy powołani, aby dzielić się nią z innymi.

Celebrując Uroczystość Trójcy Przenajświętszej, jesteśmy zachęcani do jeszcze większego zbliżenia się do Boga, który jest nieustannie obecny w naszym życiu – prowadzi nas jako kochający Ojciec, kroczy obok nas w Jezusie Chrystusie i umacnia nas mocą Ducha Świętego.
Tajemnica Trójcy Świętej uczy nas, że miłość, jedność i wzajemna relacja stanowią samo serce naszej wiary.

Niech to święto inspiruje nas do życia z większą wiarą, nadzieją i miłością, abyśmy odzwierciedlali obecność Boga w naszych rodzinach, wspólnotach i codziennym życiu.

Błogosławionej Niedzieli! 🙏🏻
