People in the thousands came to witness Jesus healing the sick, the lame, the deaf and the blind.
He gave that power to his disciples and sent them out to spread the Good News and bring hope to the world.
Was that it? Or is the healing power of Jesus alive today in The Church?

Fast and pray initiative is regarding a state-wide effort to fast
and pray every Friday for the leadership in the State of Illinois.
This initiative was started by a group of concerned Lay Catholics
from the Joliet diocese following the reversal of Roe v Wade
and the impact it could have on this state. It is our intention
to unite in prayer and fasting
every Friday throughout the State.
Parishes from all six dioceses have
been or will be contacted to help spread the word.
The Belleville Messenger posted an article in the September 29th issue regarding the importance of this initiative.
Thank you Father Ken!

“Having received the gift of the Gospel of Life, we are the people of life and a people for life. It is our duty to proclaim the Gospel of Life to the world. To proclaim Jesus is to proclaim life itself. Gratitude and joy at the incomparable dignity of the human person impel us to bring the Gospel of life to the hearts of all people and make it penetrate every part of society.” USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities “The Gospel of Life: A Brief Summary”

On February 12, 2023, our parish began The Parish Rosary Program. Each week parishioners are requested to either email to the church secretary sthenryc@peaknet.net or drop in the collection basket a slip of paper with the number of rosaries they prayed the previous week. Weekly, year-to-date, and grand totals will be printed in the church bulletin.
There are many reasons to pray the rosary: reparation for sin, world peace, political civility, the end of abortion, souls in purgatory, the intentions of the Holy Father, vocations, lukewarm and fallen away Catholics, marriages, and those in the most need of God’s mercy. But perhaps the best reason of all is by praying the rosary as Blessed Mother has requested, is that she will bring us closer to Jesus and in the process we will become more Christ like.
All adults and children are asked to participate. If you are unsure of how to pray the Rosary, there are instructions in the back of church..
9551 rosaries recorded!
