St. Eugene Church

It is important for our newly-united parish to have a diverse schedule of masses to meet the needs of our parishioners. Over the next two weekends at all our Masses, we will be asking everyone in our, now, two worship sites to let us know what your preferences of Weekend Mass times will be. We will provide a ballot that will be easy to read and understand on which you will be able to let us know what choices you would prefer for Saturday evening and Sunday Mass times. We will more than likely be looking to start our new Mass time schedule on the 1st Sunday of Advent which would be November 27th. 
Paper ballots will be in all the pews at both churches this weekend & next. Please complete and hand to an usher, priest, or someone in the rectory office. You can also complete the ballot online (Click HERE or scan the QR code below) .

EDIT: After September 4th, Divine Savior Church is CLOSED, therefore no masses will be celebrated there.

Beginning Saturday, July 2nd, there will be ONE combined parish Saturday Vigil mass at 5:00 pm at St. Eugene Church - there will be NO SATURDAY VIGIL masses celebrated at Divine Savior Church or Our Lady, Mother of the Church.

Congratulations to our current pastor, Fr. Rich Yanos, as he has been appointed as the new pastor for our new unified parish of Divine Savior Church, Our Lady, Mother of the Church & St Eugene Church that forms on July 1, 2022.

In light of the recent decision by City of Chicago officials to lift the city's mask mandate on February 28, and the relaxation of COVID mitigations in Oak Park and Evanston, all archdiocesan parishes, churches, schools and offices, will transition to mask-optional environments on February 28.

As our parishes and schools transition to mask-optional, please note the following:

  *   Parishioners and Religious Education families should be reminded to report any COVID positive cases (instances when the individual has been on parish property within 48 hours of symptoms or positive diagnosis) to the parish office so appropriate communication can be shared with close contacts.
  *   Everyone is encouraged to vaccinate, boost when eligible, and wear masks, if preferred. N95 masks are highly effective at preventing transmission of COVID regardless of whether the wearer is around masked or unmasked individuals. We support everyone in their mask use decisions. .
  *   Our isolation and quarantine protocols are not changing. Even in a mask-optional environment, anyone - regardless of vaccination status - must isolate if they are symptomatic or test positive. Unvaccinated close contacts must continue to quarantine per current guidelines. In addition, people coming out of isolation or quarantine must wear a mask for an additional five days per CDC guidance.

Masks may be required during periods of high community infection. We will continue to assess metrics and, based on infection levels, we may again require parishes, schools, offices and Religious Ed programs to temporarily require masks.
