Masses are at 5pm Saturday, 8am and 11am Sunday, and weekdays at 8:30am
Sign up for Mass is required through Sign Up Genius
or by calling the parish office at 847-362-1005

• Out of consideration for others, if you know you are not going to be able to attend Mass, we ask that you please cancel your reservation as soon as possible so someone else can take your spot. 
• Sign Up Genius reservations will close at noon on Saturdays and reopen on Monday mornings.  We will post only one week at a time.
• We are still dispensed from our obligation to attend Sunday Mass.
• The weekday Masses usually have less people and would be a good choice for people who are still not comfortable with larger gatherings. 
• Please remember to arrive 20 minutes early.  The Church doors will be locked 5 minutes after Mass starts.
   

If you are not ready to come to Mass inside Church, you can watch it at home or drive to the parish and watch it from your car on your smartphone.   Father Ignatius will distribute Eucharist from the main entrance of church starting around 9:15am.

Some logistics:
If you are going to watch Mass on your smartphone from your car, we ask you to park in the south auxiliary parking lot.  This would be to avoid the cars that are parked for Mass attendees. 
Once Mass is over and the parking lot cleared, around 9:15 am, you can begin to form a line of cars in front of church from the south parking lot, running along the detention pond, then turning the car to face west, passenger side next to church.

Fr. Ignatius will be standing under the awning in front of Church. 

Everyone in the car should wear their mask. Remain in your car. A hand sanitizer volunteer will come to each car, walking around the car to sanitize each person’s hands.  Father will follow and distribute the Eucharist.  Do not remove your mask until everyone in your car has received and Fr. Ignatius has moved away from your car.  Once Father has passed your car you can consume the host. If your car does not have windows to access everyone in the car, tell Father and he will give you instructions.

Once everyone in your car has received you can leave the parking lot toward the west. Father will stay in front of the church and the next car can pull up to where he is standing.
Please note that this is all predicated on the weather.  Father will not be able to distribute the Eucharist if it is actively raining, snowing or the temperature drops below freezing.

We are now Livestreaming all our Masses onto Facebook with worshipers in attendance. One Mass will also be posted on our YouTube channel.

My Jesus, 
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart. 
I embrace You as if You were already there 
and unite myself wholly to You. 
Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.
