The Traveling Crucifix for Vocations Program has begun, thanks to willing volunteer prayer partners.  Although few in number, several adjustments have been necessary due to individual schedule changes.  Things happen!  If you need to trade a weekend because something unforeseen has come up, please call:
Sacred Heart:  Diane Holmbeck, (815) 830-4339
St. Patrick’s: Vera Schrowang (815) 343-0417
These ladies will help to facilitate a schedule change for you.  Thank you!
 
 

Our parish community is faithful in prayer.  Praying for priestly vocations is such a crucial and effective way to provide support for this vital intention.  Please consider praying often the Novena to St. Therese, Patron of Vocations.  St. Theresa of Lisieux, Pray for us!
