On this Sunday before the start of the St. Anne Novena (July 17-25) and Feast Day (July 26), Fr. Pete takes the gospel reading of the day from the Good Samaritan and applies it to our lives today, focusing on those individuals and groups who may be marginalized by certain societal groups but can offer so much GOOD in the life of the faith, as is evident in what these individuals and groups provide for the upcoming St. Anne celebrations.

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!!!
