Welcome Back All who wish to attend Mass will be required

to sign-up in advance at: https://sttheresachurch.org/mass-reservations/

Per archdiocesan safety guidelines and for contact tracing purposes, we need the names of every individual who will be attending mass.

If you (or if you know someone) are not able to register online due to a lack of internet access, please call the parish at 847-358-7760 and someone will get back to you to discuss arrangements for you to attend.

Pre-Mass registration needs to be done to allow for the current mandate which requires large gatherings to offer some system of contact tracing if someone gets sick. Attendance records will be destroyed every 14 days.

Masks will be required of all participants and they will be required to use hand sanitizer as they enter the church.

Greeters will assist you in finding your seats once you enter the Gathering Space and will assist you when you depart after Mass is concluded.

Seats will be sanitized before each Mass and social distancing will be observed at all times.

Hymnals and other worship aids will not distributed, but you will be given instructions on how to download the Mass parts on your phone.

The Archdiocese asks that you receive Holy Communion on the hands at this time and we will not yet be able to offer the Precious Blood.

As all will enter on the Dolan Center side of the church, you are encouraged to park in the Dolan Lot.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!! The effort to bring people back into the church requires many people to make it work

smoothly and efficiently. Please consider volunteering. Please sign up at https://sttheresachurch.org/volunteer-sign-up/ or you can call 847-358-7760 if you do not have access to email. The number of Masses we offer and the number of people allowed in church will be directly tied to how many volunteers will be available to set-up, greet and clean-up before, during, and after each Mass.

Many thanks to all who are giving so generously of their time to bring us back into our parish home!!!

Welcome to Our Christian Family!

With praise and thanksgiving to almighty God, His Eminence, Blase Cardinal Cupich, has elected to ordain our seminarian, Rob Ryan, and his nine classmates to the sacred order and responsibility of the Diaconate at the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at Mundelein Seminary on Wednesday, August 12, 2020. Our Pastor, Fr. Tim Fairman has graciously agreed to serve as Rob’s vesting priest during the Rite of Ordination. The ordination will be live-streamed by the Archdiocese and information will be shared once it becomes available. Please continue to pray for Rob and his classmates as they continue to move closer to the day the Lord has chosen for them to lay down their lives for the people of God of the Archdiocese of Chicago, the salvation of their souls, and for His greater glory! 

God Bless our Deacon Elect Rob Ryan!
