Dear Friend,
Summer often marks a time of transition. Graduates start on their new journeys, students move from school to school, households transition to new homes, and everyone involved in these changes migrates between feelings of grief and joyful possibility, sometimes at the same time.
This summer marks a time of significant transition at Saint Andrew as we see Fr. Sergio Romo moving to his new assignment at Saint Gertrude Parish and Fr. Hank Lyon receiving an assignment to serve with us at Saint Andrew with both assignments taking effect on July 1, 2025.
We wish to invite everyone to participate in the leave-taking celebration for Fr. Sergio at his final Mass on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at 4:00pm. After the Mass there will be a reception in the parish hall (old chapel) where we will have a chance to show our appreciation to him and toast him onto the next step of his journey. We encourage all parishioners to attend!
Key notifications for the week ahead at Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.
Make Lunches for Uncle Pete's Ministry
On Saturday, June 14th from 9:45 AM to 11:45 AM all Saint Andrew and St. Benedict parishioners are invited to serve our community, with the covenant team, in packing bag lunches for our hungry neighbors in need. We are partnering with Uncle Pete’s Ministry to prepare and distribute bag lunches to those experiencing homelessness in Chicago. We will be packing lunches in St Andrew's gym. Sign up to participate. Children and families are welcome to attend. All are welcome to attend! Sign up to participate. Can't attend in person? We need to raise money to purchase the materials that will be given out. Make a donation by clicking here.
Support the Wellness of Priests
This weekend (June 7/8), there will be a second collection at every Mass for the Archdiocesan Priests' Health and Retirement Fund. This collection helps to support the health insurance, medication, wellness cost, and nursing home care for priests who serve and served the Archdiocese of Chicago.
