Dear Friend,
Tonight is the annual Wearin' the Green fundraiser at Saint Andrew Parish in our gymnasium from 6:00pm to 11:00pm. We're looking forward to seeing everyone in their green attire. If you've already bought tickets, you're already aware of the great prizes in the auction as bidding started earlier in the week. If you don't have your tickets yet, you can come straight to the door and buy your entry into an evening of great food, dancing, friendship, live auction and more!
Don't miss out on a great time and and a great way to support Saint Andrew!
Tonight is also the start
of Daylight Saving Time.
Don't forget to move your clocks forward one hour
before you go to sleep.
This Spring clock movement is always important because losing an hour of sleep can cause Mass goers to come into Mass just as Mass is ending if they don't set their clocks right.
We'll see you at Wearin' the Green!
Key notifications for the week ahead at Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.

Totus Tuus - Summer Camp for Children
Totus Tuus is a summer, week-long Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through evangelization, catechesis, apologetics, Christian witness, the sacraments, Marian devotion and Eucharistic worship for students entering grades one through 12. The program strives to help young people understand their faith through catechesis, so they may live in today’s world through a “parish mission” for the young students of the parish, all with a strong emphasis on fun. Totus Tuus will be offered at Saint Andrew Parish from June 22 to June 26. To find out more, visit our webpage at https://standrew.org/post/totus-tuus-2026/
Young Adult Group Meeting
SAYA – the St. Andrew’s young adult group – is back for 2026! We’re inviting all parishioners in their 20’s and 30’s to join us after the 5pm Mass as we plan evenings, events, and outings for the year ahead. Last year’s highlights included bonfires, game nights, film discussions, and dinners out. Join us next week, Sunday, March 15, as a fellow young adult leads us in conversation about the biblical roots of Lent.
Join us for Mass
4:00pm on Saturdays
and (family-focused) 9:00am,
11:00am, and 5:00pm on Sundays.
Daily Mass is celebrated in the church at 9:00am
If for any reason you can not attend in person, please watch our live stream of the Sunday 9:00am Mass in real time, or as a recording throughout the day. Click on the image below to be brought to the live stream.
PRAY -- FAST -- GIVE
Part of our Lenten practice is through prayer, to sacrifice (fast) so that we have more in our abundance to give. Every year, the proceeds from our fasting are collected as a parish on Holy Thursday to give to a specific charity. This year, our Holy Thursday collection will go to the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels in Humboldt Park to be distributed to the material needs of those served by the Franciscans of the Eucharist. Please be mindful throughout Lent to prepare a sacrificial gift for this collection.

Services are in the main church unless otherwise noted.
