St. Eugene Parish

In just a week and a half, the official announcement regarding the future of our local parishes will be made public. There have been many meetings, conversations, and discussions, as well as tours of each of our grouping parishes. The input of over 30 Grouping Team members from St. Rosalie, St. Monica, Divine Savior, Our Lady Mother of the Church and St. Eugene over the past six months has culminated in recommendations given to archdiocesan representatives, who have then made their recommendations to the Cardinal. What we will be hearing on January 26th is the Cardinal's final decision regarding the new configuration of the five parishes in our grouping.

We are pleased that Bishop Mark Bartosic and Bishop Kevin Birmingham, the regional bishops and Cardinal Cupich's representatives to our region of the archdiocese, will be with us on Wednesday, January 26 at 8:00 pm, to join us in prayer and share an important update on the future of our parishes. This event will be held online. Please go to www.renewmychurch.org/announcements

New hymnals will be arriving for Advent, they will be hardcover and will contain all 3 cycles of the Sunday Scripture readings for your convenience. These Gather IV hymnals from GIA Publications are an investment for the future and therefore we are asking parishioners to help offset the cost. For your $25 contribution per hymnal we will affix a donor bookplate to the inside cover that will be personalized per your instruction. They can either be printed to say, “Gift of….” or “In Memory of…” and you or your family’s name or someone else’s name of your choosing will be typed on the label and affixed to the inside front cover of each hymnal that you donate toward. Please complete the form by clicking here: New Hymnals
and drop it with your contribution/gift in the Sunday collection, mail it in, or you can drop it off at the parish office. Thank you for your generosity!

Beginning Thursday, 8/26/2021, masks are REQUIRED in all indoor public spaces for all people over the age of 2, regardless of vaccination status. This includes ALL Archdiocesan facilities in ILLINOIS (City of Chicago, Suburban Cook County & Lake County), including Masses, liturgies, and all activities/events within our parishes, archdiocesan schools, parish & agency offices, campus ministry facilities, and Pastoral Center offices.

Our priority remains the safety of all God's People, which is why we align our guidelines with the current guidance of our public health authorities. As their guidance changes, so must ours.

Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility as we take the necessary measures to protect human life in every way possible - including the use of masks.
