We have been approved by the Archdiocese of Chicago to move to Phase 5 protocols along with the rest of the State of Illinois, beginning on June 11th, 2021. Many of the restrictions that have been in place have been lifted. 

Please continue reading to see how we will implement the current protocols specified by the Archdiocese of Chicago and for any changes.

As of February 28th, 2022, the Archdiocese of Chicago, has made the wearing of masks or face coverings optional for all Masses and liturgies in churches and chapels in suburban Cook County.

Masks are no longer required, in all parish offices, parish gathering spaces (parish halls and the school gym), common hallways, and restrooms.

Your responsibilities during the pandemic remain the same.  We remind you of the following:

• Maintain social distancing as much as practical.
• Report any COVID positive cases (instances when the individual has been on parish property within 48 hours of symptoms or positive diagnosis) to the parish office at (708) 333-3550 so that appropriate communication can be shared with any close contacts.
• Our isolation and quarantine protocols are not changing. As such, even in a mask-optional environment, anyone – regardless of vaccination status – must isolate if they are symptomatic or test positive. Unvaccinated close contacts must quarantine. In addition, those people coming out of isolation or quarantine must wear a mask for an additional five days per CDC guidance.
• If you feel ill in any way, especially if you have even mild symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, dry cough, difficulty breathing, loss of taste/smell, etc.), or if you knowingly have COVID-19, please do not attend Mass, parish activities or visit the parish office.
• Everyone is encouraged to vaccinate, boost when eligible, and wear masks, if preferred. N95 masks are highly effective at preventing transmission of COVID regardless of whether the wearer is around masked or unmasked individuals. We support everyone in whichever decision they make regarding the regular use of masks.

Procedures for receiving Holy Communion remain the same, with hand sanitizing prior to receiving remaining optional.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
