Renew My Church: Update and Proposed Scenarios

Dear Parishioners,

The Archdiocese of Chicago is undergoing a process called Renew My Church, which calls for both a spiritual and structural renewal of our parishes. Originally, our parish was scheduled to begin this process in fall of 2021. However, we received word a few months ago that the Archdiocese of Chicago has decided to accelerate this process, and it began last month. Below is a video which explains how the process has progressed, where we are now, and the proposed scenarios for reconfiguring our grouping.

Below are links to two documents regarding the Renew My church process. The first is a brief overview of the general strengths and weaknesses of our grouping. The second is an overview of the proposed scenarios.

If you have any questions regarding this process, or any of the materials presented, please contact me at the parish rectory at 773-588-6484.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Steve Kanonik, Pastor
