Deanery Documents

Parishes within the Diocese of Joliet are divided into geographic groupings called Deaneries. Saints Peter and Paul is part of the South DuPage Deanery, which includes parishes from Hinsdale to Aurora.

Priests from the Deanery recently worked together to create documents that include daily Confession schedules, as well as Lenten services and programs. Please click on the images here to view/print the documents. Hard copies will also be available in the Narthex this weekend.

We hope participants are enjoying the daily #Pray40 sessions. The in-app group includes a daily reflection and question based on the day's material—feel free to comment! Prayer intentions are also encouraged, as praying is one of the most important things we can do for each other.

In-person events will be held in the Social Hall at 7 p.m. on March 2, March 9, March 16, March 23, March 30, and April 4.

Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal

If you have already pledged your support to the Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA), thank you! If we all participate, we can meet our parish’s CMAA goal. Each and every gift, large or small, makes a difference.

If you still need to make your gift, please prayerfully reflect on how you can best support the CMAA this year and ensure all in our diocese know that we belong to God. There are many options for giving, from pledging to monthly recurring gifts. Pledge envelopes are still available in the church, or you can return the pledge card you received in the mail from the diocese or make a gift online at jolietdioceseappeal.org.

Remember, if we raise more than our goal, the diocese will return to us 70 percent of the amount over goal. This is an amazing opportunity for our parish.
