CURRENT CONTACT INFORMATION

We are asking our parishioners to please let us know if there has been any changes regarding their status. Whether you recently moved, disconnected your land line and now have a cell number, or if you have an email address. Please contact the Parish Office at 708 974.3336, Ex 211, or email us at parishmail@sacredheartpalos.org.

This information will be kept confidential and will not be shared. It will help us to keep you better informed in regards to parish news.

We don’t believe we have ever seen our country as divided as it has been over COVID! Everyone has their opinion about COVID, the vaccines, masks and all related issues. For a while, it seemed the worst was over and the CCW Board was hopeful we would be able to resume meetings starting this month. However, we seem to be going backwards rather than forward. We miss seeing all of you, but first and foremost we are concerned about the health and safety of our members. Therefore, we canceled plans to meet in September and we are very tentatively planning to meet in October. On our regular meeting night. Tuesday, October 19, 2021, we will join the members of

the Queen of Peace prayer group in church at 6:00 p.m. to say the rosary and other prayers. We hope we are able to provide some light refreshments after, but please keep in mind all we may be able to provide is a bottle of water. We hope you are all well and we hope to see you. If you do not feel safe and don’t wish to join others, we certainly understand. This is certainly NOT the time to step out of your comfort zone. God bless all of you. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact our president, Melanie Karnia at (708) 430-1593 or any board member.
