Happy Summer! 

As we continue to celebrate our weekend Masses we want to remind you of the recommendations from the Archdiocese for all who are vulnerable or uncomfortable to stay safe and remain home for the time being.

The Cardinal’s dispensation from Sunday Mass is still in effect.  You are invited to watch our Facebook live-stream Mass at 9:30 am.  It will be uploaded to our YouTube Channel shortly after.  St Julie Billiart Tinley Park IL and our webpage.

Safety precautions to observe at all times

  • If you are not feeling well we ask that you stay home.
  • Upon arriving to church, a greeter will distribute hand sanitizer to you at the entrance.
  • Masks are a must for your safety and those in the building with you.  They must be worn properly over the nose and mouth.
  • If you are not able to keep your mask in place for the duration of Mass, we ask that you continue to participate in the Liturgy from home.
  • Our ushers will guide you to a proper seat location.  Households may sit together but must be six feet from the next person. 
  • 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, You Tube or our webpage.
  • 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!

As we continue to add Masses, we need your help.  We cannot do without our wonderful volunteers.  It is not right to ask the same people to serve at multiple Masses each weekend.  Can you help?

Eucharistic Adoration

By

Thursday, June 4th, Saint Julie Billiart will be offering  Eucharistic Adoration from 8:30am – 11:00am in the Sacred Heart Chapel. We look forward to seeing you if you are able to join us.

Please park in the middle parking lot, (south side of the church) and enter via the Sacred Heart Chapel doors. We will allow up to 10 parishioners in at a time. The line will form outside the building (weather permitting) and will be first come, first served. The Sacred Heart Chapel will allow ample room for social distancing. We ask that you follow the instructions of the greeters and allow them to open and close any doors. As much as possible please refrain from touching walls, doors, door handles, etc.

As is the policy of the Archdiocese, masks are required for entry, please be sure to bring your own mask. This is for your safety and the safety of our priests and volunteers.

 

Bring Hope to Our Neighbors

By

On Sunday, May 31st we will celebrate Pentecost – 50 days after Easter!

Since we are still not able to worship together in person, we have a way to celebrate this great Feast! As Jesus sent the disciples outward, we invite you to go into your neighborhood, if you are able.

Many people are looking for ways to connect, something to do to help others. We have something simple for you and/or your family to do.

As you walk your dog or just stretch your legs through the neighborhood, we ask you to say a prayer for the people who live in that homes along the way. If you know them, call their names to mind, if not, just mention ‘all those who live in this house.’ Here is a sample prayer:

God, please bless and care for all those who live in this house. Help them not feel alone. Give them hope, health and peace. Amen.

Then, leave a note at their door.  Samples are provided below, simply click and print or create your own;

Sample Letter 1     Sample Letter 2     Sample Letter 3

It may feel odd to do this. Some people will throw the note away. Others may even think it is weird. But there are people among us, our neighbors, who are alone, looking for connection, a sign of hope. Will you be that sign of hope for them on Pentecost Sunday?

And if you have any stories to share with us about this experience, let us know at [email protected]

May God continue to bless you and bless all those you love,

 

 

 

Bishop-Elect Louis Tylka

A FEW DIRECTIONS:

  • Choose ten or more homes near you – your neighbors regardless of religion.
  • Take the note provided and personalize it – if you know your neighbors’ names, address the note to them; if you have children, they can add an artistic touch; you can tape a little birthday candle on it; put red ribbon to hang it; be creative.
  • If you feel comfortable, sign your name, even put your house number.
  • Please remember DO NOT put the note in the mailbox. You can slip it in their door, use some red ribbon and hang it on their door handle.
  • Please wash your hands well before you set out, wear a mask, stay 6 feet away from other people, and be careful.
  • You can share this on Pentecost Sunday or during the week that follows.
