Parish Life

SSPP men meet every Saturday morning to form trusted friendships that support their efforts to grow in love for the Lord and lead families to heaven. Join us on Saturday's in the Ministry Center Social Hall for Welcome, Fraternity and Prayer Need Requests (6:15 am), Rosary (6:30 am), leader talk (7:00 am), small group discussion (7:15 am), Closing Prayer (7:50 am) and then 8:00 am Mass in the main church. You may also attend via Zoom. For more information contact [email protected].

This group of parishioners spends time caring for the landscaping needs of our parish grounds. Members have designated areas (mulch beds or containers) around the seven-acre campus that they design, plant, weed, fertilize and water. Those interested in joining should contact Paulette Shea, [email protected], 630-718-2127.

Are you looking for ways to deepen your own spirituality and allow your faith to grow? Are you trying to find a way to reach out to Catholics who have wandered away from the practice of the faith? Are you looking for an evangelization program which can work in any parish setting?

The Legion of Mary group at Saints Peter and Paul Parish is called Our Lady of Sorrows. The Legion of Mary is one of the largest lay apostolic organizations, with over three million active members throughout the world. The Saints Peter and Paul Legion of Mary group has been active since 2007. In addition to devotional prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary, we do Spiritual and Corporal works of Mercy, such as visiting nursing homes and parish homes. We also foster Catholic ideals and devotions in our parish with the Pilgrim Virgin Visitation Home Program. Our members share a fellowship with others who share their ministry, a sound prayer life, and a devotion to Our Lady, who invariably leads all souls to Jesus Christ.

We meet every Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. at SSPP in the Ministry Center (Room 227). For more information please contact: Bernadette McKeon 267-885-9571 or Paulette Shea 630-718-2127.

Archives of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church and School have been documented and stored in the Ministry Center by current parish archivist Marjorie Peters. If you are interested in getting involved with this important work, please contact the parish office.

Purpose and Function

The Council is the visionary body of the parish whose charge is to move the parish forward in the mission and goals of the parish as set forth in its Mission Statement. As the primary consultative organization of the parish, the Council advises the Pastor in overseeing and coordinating the activity of all parish organizations through designated commissions. By prayerfully evaluating and advising the organizations and the commissions with respect to their policies, procedures and programs, the Council seeks to relate the work of these bodies to the mission of the parish as a whole.
