Online Liturgy for the Second Sunday of Advent - December 5, 2021
Celebrated at the National Shrine of St. Anne - St. Anne, IL
Fr. Pete Jankowski has been celebrating all Masses on behalf of the parishioners of St. Patrick's Church (Momence) and St. Anne's Church (St. Anne) who are not able to church. Feel free to invite others to join our Masses if they are not able to join their own parish communities – we will never get large enough to worry about too many people that come and join us (and what a wonderful dilemma it would be if they did!). All we ask you to do is bring your own chairs to the Masses, bring your own masks and observe social distancing. For Social Distancing Guidelines, Please CLICK HERE (English Instructions) or CLICK HERE (Spanish Instructions).
Please continue to support our local parishes – we need your support to continue spreading God’s mercy during these difficult times.
To support the mission of St. Patrick's Church, please contact us at (815) 472-2864 or write us at 119 North Market Street - Momence, IL 60954.
To support the mission of St. Anne's Church, please contact us at (815) 427-8265 or write us at PO Box 470 - St. Anne, IL 60964.
Congratulations and THANK YOU! to our Catechists who were Commisioned to Serve the Youth of Our Border Town Parishes on September 26, 2021!!!

Lord of the Fairways,You’ve blessed us with the beauty of nature, the abilities of mind and body, plus the insights of modern technology. These blessings join together today in our 2021 Golf Outing, in memory of Fr. James Fanale.
Be with us, that we may enjoyeach moment of today’s outing: |
Mayour vision be keen as an eagle’s,our drives straight as aces,our irons sure as the birdies’ flight,our putts true and on the mark,and the fellowship above par!May we call upon your Holy Name onlyin praise, and leave cursing the Devilto those more qualified…And, if it be your Will, a good scorewould make today heavenly! Amen! |
