Young people, 4th grade and up are eligible to become altar servers. They prepare the altar and carry the cross and candles in procession before and after Mass. Their main purpose is to assist the presider during the celebration. Training will be provided. Contact Karen Root in the parish office for more information. Children's Liturgy of the Word
We invite the children at the 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday to partake in the Liturgy of The Word for Children. After the opening of the liturgy 3 through 9 year old children are invited to Hardy Hall. During the time the adult assembly hears the Word of God, the Scripture is presented to the children on their level. After all have heard the Word of God, the children rejoin their parents and the parish community for the remaining celebration. To volunteer contact Pat Juvingo in the REP office at 630-830-2295.

A Eucharist Minister is dedicated to bringing the Body and Blood of Christ to all who desire it. This calls for a Catholic who is in good standing and active in the practice of the faith. A Minister must be reverent, respectful and understand that this is a privilege. Training is required and will be provided.

Lectors are men and women who participate in the Mass and other liturgical services by sharing the readings and prayers with the people. Their active role enhances the services and makes the readings more meaningful. For more information please contact Eileen Lucietto in the parish office. Meals for Families
Occasionally a family finds itself in a bind due to illness in the family, hospitalization of a family member, a long term illness, a recent death or other crisis. To assure that the family members have a meal, parishioners offer to prepare a meal for the family on a temporary basis. To volunteer to make a meal please contact Ellen Moll in the parish office. Ministers of Care
Ministers of Care are needed to take the Eucharist to those who are shut-in at home or in the hospital. You will need to understand the environment within which the sick find themselves. Ministers are called upon to help families/individuals discover and understand God's plan for them. Mandatory training sessions offer insights into the manner and procedures needed to exercise in individual circumstances. To volunteer contact Jim Gallagher 630-837-7344 or at
