UPDATE / ALERTS
Regarding Parish activities

In light of the many concerns and cancellations stemming from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, this section of the parish website will be continuously updated to reflect any changes to St. Peter the Apostle Parish activities and events, including weekend and weekday Mass schedules. Blast emails will also be sent out as needed to keep parishioners informed.

Please note, that as the parish will have limited hours (see below), phone calls and messages left may likely not be received/returned until regular hours resume.

Fr. Slawek is monitoring the situation and will take guidance and direction from the
Diocese of Joliet and will follow any protocol that may be deemed necessary by Bishop Richard Pates, Apostolic Administrator, for the Diocese of Joliet.
