Dear Parishioners of Saint Petronille,

First Communicants

Please keep our first communicants in your prayers.  They will be receiving their first holy communion over the next several weeks.  We are grateful for their fervor and example in receiving our Lord with such reverence and devotion.  May God bless them and protect them.

New Procedures

We are glad to announce that we have some new equipment which will make the sanitization of the pews less labor intensive for our volunteers.  This will allow us to sanitize the church much more quickly and easily; however, it will create a slight inconvenience to those remaining in the church after Mass to pray.  You may remain in the church to pray while they sanitize, but we ask you to move to the section side of the pews after our team sanitizes them so that they can complete the entire church.  When you are finished praying, please sanitize the location in which you were seated.  Thank you for your understanding and patience as we continue to try to keep everyone safe while still providing a place to pray.

Fr. Eduardo Flores

Last week, we announced that Fr. Eduardo will be transferred to Saint Andrew in Romeoville on July 1^st.  Fr. Eduardo’s faith, accessibility and sense of humor have made a lasting impression on all of us and we will be sad to see him go.  However, we want to show Fr. Eduardo our appreciation for his priestly ministry here and so we will have a Mass of Thanksgiving at 9:30 am on June 27^th.  Fr. Eduardo will be present after the 5 pm on June 26^th as well as the 7:30 am, 9:30 am, 11:30 am and 5 pm Masses on the 27^th to greet everyone. Please take the time to wish him well and show him your appreciation.

Fr. Iesus Oliveros will begin ministry here at Saint Petronille on July 1^st.  We will have more information in the near future about Fr. Iesus.

Fr. Art is back in the rectory and improving, but he has been remaining in the rectory to continue his recovery.

Please keep all of our priests in your prayers during this transition.  You are all often in our thoughts and prayers and Masses.

In Christ,

Fr. Thomas Milota
