Thank you for your interest in registering to attend Mass at St. Julie:

Please note that by registering for Mass, you are agreeing to the guidelines that have been set forth by the state and the Archdiocese of Chicago.  If, for some reason, you do not feel you can adhere to these requirements, please know that the dispensation from attending Mass in person is still in effect and you can instead join us on our livestream at 9:30am each Sunday morning.  Our team of volunteers are offering their time to assist us in maintaining the safest possible worship environment.  We appreciate your cooperation!

Reservations are required. The signup link will be included in a parishwide email and become active on this website on Friday. Or, if you do not have internet access, you can call Sheila/Deacon Ed at 708.429.6767 x232 to reserve your spot. (You will not receive a callback unless there is an issue.)

With regard to our weekly collection, we appreciate your continued donations online. A collection box will be placed at the door as you enter church if you wish to use an envelope.

Safety Guidelines

These safety precautions should be observed at all times:

  • If you are not feeling well, we ask that you stay home as a precaution.
  • Masks are a must for everyone’s safety.  They must be worn properly over the nose and mouth.
  • Households may sit together but should be six feet from the next person.  Households are defined as those who live together every day.  Extended family and friends who do not live with you must safety distance (6 ft.) themselves from you while in our worship space.
  • Pews that are marked by blue tape may be used.
  • Please plan on arriving no sooner than 30 minutes and no later than the start of Mass; this will allow us time to ensure all preparation is completed.  This will also allow our volunteers to fully participate in the Mass.
  • If you have attended large gatherings in the last week where safety precautions have not been taken, we ask that you take a week off from Mass in person and participate via Facebook or our parish website.
  • For those who are not able to sign up via internet, please contact Sheila at 708.429.6767 x232.  Leave your name, phone number and the Mass you would like to attend.  We will only call back if there is an issue with your reservation.

We appreciate your help in keeping everyone safe and healthy. Our goal is to be able to continue celebrating Mass in person. Everyone working together will go a long way!

We Love Volunteers!

We cannot do without our wonderful volunteers and also don’t feel it’s right to ask the same people to serve at multiple masses each weekend.  Can you help?  ALL AGES ARE WELCOME!

If you would like to volunteer to assist the Reopen Team, please email Deacon Ed at [email protected] or [email protected]

God bless,
Deacon Ed and Sheila

Young Adult Group – November 29 – 12:30pm

By

We would love to have you join us!  Our gathering this month will include a Bible study, as well as a podcast discussion about friendship.  It is tentatively set to take place in the St. Julie Billiart Youth Center, but if we’re unable to meet in person due to Covid, we will arrange a Zoom gathering.  We’re flexible!

If you have any questions or are interested, please contact Becca at [email protected]

Nativity Scene Build Off

By

Fr. Tirso invites parishioners (as a family or a ministry) to construct their own Nativity Scene on a 8′ x 8′ area on the parish grounds, providing all their own materials and being responsible for setup and takedown.  There will be a committee set up to judge each scene, based on creativity and expression of the meaning of the birth of Christ.

Details are still being worked out, but, if you’re interested in participating, following is some information:

  • Preregister – Call or email to register your family or group.  You’ll be given a location for the “build” on the parish grounds.
  • Build Time – Nativity scenes may be constructed starting November 28 (Thanksgiving weekend) and should be completed by December 19.
  • Judging – Sunday, December 20 after the 11:30am Mass. Nonmonetary prizes will be awarded.
  • Viewing – Nativity scenes should remain on display on the grounds, but must be taken down by January 10.

Start brainstorming… look around the house, garage or basement for supplies… get creative!

For more details, email Fr. Tirso:  [email protected]
