What is FOCUS?
FOCUS is Catholic collegiate outreach whose mission is to share the hope and joy of the Gospel with college and university students. Trained in Church teaching, prayer, sacred scripture, evangelization and discipleship, FOCUS missionaries encounter students in friendship where they are, inviting them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and accompanying them as they pursue lives of virtue and excellence. Through Bible studies, outreach, mission trips and one-on-one discipleship, missionaries inspire and build up students in the faith, sending them out to spread the good news and to live out the Great Commission: Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations (Mt. 28:19).
The Need is great, 80% of those who leave the Catholic Church do so before the age of 23. The church needs to reclaim its young people.
I would love to meet you and explain a little bit more about the mission of FOCUS and what I personally will be doing on the college campus this upcoming year. Please send me a message at jessicaqueeney@gmail.com or give me a call at (630) 235-1200 to learn how you can get involved in the mission!!

The devotion of First Saturdays, as requested by Our Lady of Fatima, carries with it the assurance of the graces necessary for salvation at the hour of death. However, to derive profit from such a great promise of Our Lady, the devotion must be properly understood and duly performed.
The requirements as stipulated by Our Lady are:
“…all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for 15 minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with
the intention of making reparation to my Immaculate Heart.”
Please join us at 9:00 a.m. Mass. After the Mass, we gather for the recitation of the Holy Rosary, and for the Exposition and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
We are excited that we were able to re-open our Adoration Chapel for in-person adoration last week. We are still missing some artwork and new chairs, but those will be added when they are delivered. It’s exciting to be able to pray in person again!
Hours for the Adoration Chapel are Monday at 9:30am (after the 9am Mass) until Thursday night at midnight. The doors will be open from 6am to 9pm every day. After 9pm, you will need an access code to get into the building. Please email adorationsmip@gmail.com for the code. You will not be able to get in without it; and overnight adorers are instructed not to let anyone in, for safety reasons.
Please keep in mind the following:
Yours in Christ and His Blessed Mother,
Father Pat Mulcahy, Pastor
Capilla de Adoración de Santa María Inmaculada
Estamos emocionados de poder reabrir nuestra Capilla de Adoración para la adoración en persona la semana pasada. Todavía nos faltan algunas obras de arte y sillas nuevas, pero se agregarán cuando sean entregadas. ¡Es emocionante poder volver a orar en persona!
El horario de la Capilla de Adoración es de lunes a las 9:30 a. m. (después de la misa de las 9 a. m.) hasta el jueves a la medianoche. Las puertas estarán abiertas de 6:00 a 21:00 todos los días. Después de las 9:00 p. m., necesitará un código de acceso para ingresar al edificio. Envíe un correo electrónico a adorationsmip@gmail.com para obtener el código. No podrá entrar sin él; ya los adoradores nocturnos han sido instruidos en no dejar entrar a nadie, por razones de seguridad.
Tenga en cuenta lo siguiente:
Suyo en Cristo y Su Santísima Madre,
Padre Pat Mulcahy, Pastor
Kaplica Najświętszej Maryi Panny Niepokalanej
Cieszymy się że w zeszłym tygodniu mogliśmy ponownie otworzyć naszą Kaplicę do osobistej adoracji. Jeszcze brakuje niektórych obrazów i nowych krzeseł, ale zostaną one dodane dostarczone. Cieszymy się że znowu możemy modlić się osobiście.
Godziny otwarcia Kaplicy Adoracji to poniedziałek o 9:30 (po Mszy o 9 rano) do czwartku wieczorem o północy. Drzwi będą otwarte codziennie od 6:00 do 21:00. Po godzinie 21:00 będzie potrzebować kodu dostępu aby wejść do budynku. Aby uzyskać kod, musisz wysłać e-mail na adres adorationsmip@gmail.com. Bez kodu, osoba nie będzie mógła wejść; a adoratorzy prezez noc są pouczeni aby nikogo nie wpuszczać z powodów bezpieczeństwa.
Proszę zanotować:
Twój w Chrystusie i Jego Błogosławionej Matce,
Kś. Pat Mulcahy, proboszcz
Due to the ongoing health crisis, we’ve moved our Book of Intentions entirely online. If you would like for us to add something to it, please fill out the form here:
Our prayer intention candles have been moved to the Narthex and candles may now be lit directly by parishioners. However, if you prefer to send your prayer request to us, we are happy to light a candle for you. For your donation of $3.00, we will physically light one of the candles in the Narthex for your intention.
We hope that making prayer candle intentions available in person and online, will help to further illuminate your prayer life. We are grateful for your donation.
Please indicate your intention in the “In honor of” field. If more of an explanation is needed, please include that information in the Comments section.
We are creating a list of prayer candle intentions for our online bulletin. With your permission, your intention could also be added to this list to allow others to join in your prayer.
