Pentecost Sunday at the Border Town Parishes

June 8, 2025

Celebrated at St. Anne's Church

230 N. 6th Avenue

St. Anne, IL  60964

Every life is sacred; every life has value. The Holy Spirit lives within each of us and is sealed within us during the Sacrament of Confirmation. In the "Death & Dying" course he teaches at the University of St. Francis, Fr. Pete asks the students to write obituaries about themselves and to visit cemeteries to learn about the stories of values that they, and others, have contributed in the world. To conclude the Easter Season, Fr. Pete shares a few of the students' reflections in his homily, reinforcing that each of us have been put on earth for a purpose and, by fulfilling that purpose given to us by God and led by the Spirit, God leads us to heaven and our eternal reward.

Spring Break Mission Trip 2025


For the second time in two years, Tim Cook (Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students) sent a group of students and staff to the Eastern Kankakee area for a week of service, prayer and fellowship. Led by CC Staff Pam Plasberg and Jessica McClelland, the students were able to celebrate Masses at St. Patrick's Church & Good Shepherd Manor (Momence, IL), St. Anne's Church (St. Anne, IL), Maternity BVM Church (Bourbonnais, IL), St. George Church (Bourbonnais, IL), the Annunciation Monastery in Minooka, IL and the Cerrito de Camino y Esperanza Retreat House in St. Anne, IL.


While on Spring Break Mission, the students were able to work on the following projects...


  • Removing, "planing" and re-installing wooden planks on the picnic tables at Good Shepherd Manor (Momence, IL)
  • Painting the Parish Basement Hall at St. Patrick's Church (Momence, IL)
  • Finishing a Gymnasium Renovation Project at St. Patrick's Academy & Community Center Gymnasium (Momence, IL)
  • Painting Rooms at Bishop McNamara High School (Kankakee, IL)
  • Renovating a Child Care Center into a Community Center (Pembroke Township)


Much thanks to Kristen Stockle and the good souls at Good Shepherd Manor for housing the students during the week. Much thanks to everyone who made this wonderful Spring Break Mission possible!!!
