And I tell you, you are Peter,
and on this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,
and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

UPDATE ON LIVESTREAMING MASSES...
Dear Parish Family,
I am excited to see so many more of our parishioners coming back for Holy Mass, the greatest prayer on earth. I hope to welcome all of you home again soon.
As I announced at Christmas, many parishioners have now returned to in-person Mass, and therefore, the parish will no longer live-stream Masses. Please know that, whether you attend Mass or are unable to join us in person, each of you will continue to be held in my prayers and intentions each day. For those who continue to remain at home and are unable to come to church, Masses can be viewed each day on EWTN and Catholic TV.
For those who are homebound and would like to receive the Eucharist, please contact Deacon Fred at the parish center so that a regular visit can be arranged. For those in need of the Sacraments of Reconciliation or the Anointing of the Sick, please call my extension ~ 630-773-1272 extension 203.
May Jesus Christ bring his eternal love and peace to you and your families throughout 2022.
​
Please join me in prayer each day so that more and more of the faithful will return to Mass. May a greater yearning to return to the practice of our Roman Catholic faith and love of the Lord grow in our minds and hearts.
In Christ our Lord,
​
Father Noesen
UPDATE ON LIVESTREAMING MASSES...
Dear Parish Family,
I am quite excited to see so many more parishioners lately coming back for
Holy Mass – the greatest prayer on earth. I hope to welcome all of you home again this Christmas! Please know that we continue to practice safety precautions, requiring wearing masks and sanitizing hands at each Mass at St. Peter the Apostle Parish.
​
Many parishioners have now returned to in-person Mass, and very few regularly watch our live-stream Masses. Therefore, effective immediately the parish will no longer live-stream Masses. Please know that, whether you attend Mass or are unable to join us in person, each of you will continue to be held in my prayers
and intentions at all my Christmas Masses this season. For those who continue
to remain at home and are unable come to Mass for Christmas and beyond,
live-streamed Masses can be viewed each day on EWTN and Catholic TV.
If you are homebound and would like to receive the Eucharist, please contact Deacon Fred at the parish center so that a regular visit can be arranged.
If you are in need of the Sacraments of Reconciliation or the Anointing of the Sick, please call my extension.
May Jesus Christ bring his eternal love and peace to you and your families at Christmas and bless you in the New Year of 2022. You will all have a very special remembrance in the celebration of the Mass on Christmas Day.
In Christ our Lord,
