From the Desk of Fr. Mike Nacius, Pastor
October 18, 2019
 
Dear Parishioners,
 
            I am writing today to thank all of the parishioners that took the time to complete the ME25 survey earlier this month. The survey responses are being tabulated and scored in order to help myself and parish leadership with Strategic Planning and goal setting in the coming months. I will be sharing this information with the parish in the bulletin as well as through social media outlets.
 
            Your participation in the ME25 survey will help me and parish leadership as we continue to address the three goals of the Renew My Church program of the Archdiocese calling people in every parish in Lake and Cook counties to 1) "make disciples", 2) "build community" and to 3) "inspire witness".

May the efforts of our community to make disciples, build community and inspire witness be known in the homes and hearts of all parishioners of the Church of St. Mary.        

God bless you!

           Sincerely,

 



Pastor

Religious Education
We are excited to report there are a total of 320 students from 224 families enrolled in Religious Education classes this year! As classes began, students gathered with parents for an opening prayer service. After the classes were dismissed to classrooms, parents stayed for an informational meeting on the year ahead.
 
St. Mary's RE program follows the curriculum of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Although parents are the primary educators of the Faith, our program provides a structured and systematic study of the Catholic Faith where children learn traditional prayers, read Scripture, develop faith concepts and vocabulary, as well as make use of service opportunities to help others.
Please check our website for more detailed information.
