Parishioners have the opportunity to purchase engraved bricks as permanent memorials of loved ones, parish families, or special events in the lives of our parishioners. The sale of the engraved bricks is the primary fundraiser for the maintenance of the garden. These permanent memorials are $100 each for a personalized 4”X 8” engraved paver brick.  Orders can be placed at the parish office by completing the form below with payment, or by contacting the garden chairperson by Oct. 4th. Garden Chairperson: Sandy Christensen (815)477-3612 or email at sportsmomsfc1460@sbcglobal.net. 

This Fall we will be reading Keys to the Hearts of Youth by Fr. Paul Avallone. Anyone who interacts with children would benefit from this book club whether you are a parent, grandparent, or volunteer with children or work with children—you will find helpful insights into how to walk with children on their faith journeys. When we meet, we will have Salesian priests and sisters join us (virtually) to share in our discussions. Our first meeting is Tuesday, September 29th at 7:00PM. You can participate virtually or in person. We will meet 1-2 times a month. No reading is required for the first meeting. You can find the book on Amazon or contact Elizabeth about obtaining a copy for a $5-10 donation. Please contact Elizabeth Wlodzimierski to RSVP stmarymazzarello@salesiancooperatorsusaeast.org

Are you interested in being a lector during the week at daily Mass? If so, please contact Marcie in the parish office or call her at (815) 459-3033 X230
