Clergy Assignments for

Saints Peter and Paul

In addition to incoming pastor Fr. William De Salvo, Bishop Ronald Hicks has assigned two parochial vicars to Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, effective July 1, 2023.

Please continue to pray for our outgoing and incoming priests—and all clergy of the diocese—as many prepare to begin new ministries.

Help Save a Life!

Adopt a baby bottle and fill it with your loose change, a check, or cash to support Waterleaf Women Center’s Baby Bottles for Life campaign, which takes place in our parish from Mother’s Day (May 14) until Father’s Day (June 18).

Proceeds from this collection will help support the life-saving work of Waterleaf, a Catholic pregnancy center serving the Diocese of Joliet with its pregnancy medical clinic and education center located in Aurora. Please make checks payable to Waterleaf.

Baby Bottles will be available at the exit doors after weekend Masses on May 13 and May 14.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

If you have an upcoming first- or second-grade student who is not currently registered for religious education or for the parish school, we invite you to join our program! It’s designed to engage students in the Catholic faith, not only preparing them for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation, but also providing ongoing instruction and faith-sharing each year.

The Diocese of Joliet requires two years of preparation prior to receiving a sacrament, which means that children typically start preparing for First Communion in first or second grade. Students begin preparing for Confirmation no later than 6th grade. 

Registration for classes is going on now. Register and pay by May 26th for the lowest rate!

Current Hours Monday 8 a.m. to Saturday 3 p.m.
