All parish volunteers need to complete Protecting God’s Children, undergo a background check, and read a few important documents. Please contact Mona O'Bryan at the parish office 815-758-5432 x 107 if you are unsure if you have completed all the requirements or to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for your prompt cooperation with this important US Bishop's initiative.

WHAT A GIFT! What a blessing to learn that there is ONE GOD that we are to worship! Thank GOD for this Revelation to us. This was a CENTRAL GIFT to Israel, as GOD’s people, Through whom SALVATION would come to the WHOLE WORLD: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is Lord alone; and you shall worship the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” This is the path to salvation and happiness and there is no other. Every other path leads to disappointment and sadness! The deceiver may try to “dress up” other paths with grand promises and utopian visions; but they are empty. Unfortunately, many are drawn to these roads, even by those they consider friends: blind leaders of the blind. THERE IS ONE GOD & ONE TRUE FRIEND: “The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power” (Psalm 98). We pray for the grace to encourage one another in faith.
