The Knights of Columbus will be holding our basketball Free Throw Contest on Sunday January 15^th at 11:00 AM  in the St. Catherine of Siena school gym.   The contest is open to boys and  girls ages 10 through 14 (as of Jan 1, 2012).  Winners from each age group (boys and girls)  can qualify to participate in the District Level contest that will be held in  February (more information to be announced at a later time).

Volunteers are needed.  Set up will begin at 10:00AM with the contest at 11:00 and is expected to end at 12:00 as there are grade school basketball games beginning at 1:00 so we need to be finished by 12:30 at the latest!  We’ll need about 10 Brother Knights to help with the activities including set  up, registration of the kids, officiating the contest and awarding the certificates.

For more information or to help, please  contact Joe Reeder at 847-836-8553.

Thank you all who attended the most recent Rosary Services. I have partnered with Father Canova, and his Respect Life committee. Attendance at our Monthly Rosary has definitely increased, and I thank you all.  In addition to our Monthly Rosary, there is a Rosary a half hour before every Mass on the weekends in the Chapel.  There is also a Divine Mercy Chaplet said after each weekday Mass.Here is a Downloadable Guide to the Rosary – rosary

Our upcoming dates will be:

Remember every Saturday, starting at 3:15 PM, and Wednesdays starting at 5;30 PM Reconciliation is also available. Please consider committing to Reconciliation once per month. Attached is a guide to help prepare yourselves and guide you through the Sacrament. If it has been a while since your last reconciliation please let Father know and he will guide you through it. With regular practice of this Sacrament you will find a calm that is difficult to describe, a strong desire to live your faith, and help in avoiding sins you may struggle with.

The calendar of upcoming events and activities can be found on the Activities tab above.
