Oak Park Catholic Parishes – 5 PM Sunday Evening Mass
The 5 pm Sunday evening Mass welcomes all Oak Park Parish Communities is held at St. Edmund Church (188 S. Oak Park Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302) – This Mass is also geared toward young adult community members on the 4th Sunday of each Month, with hospitality and community building activities after Mass.
While one of the focuses for this weekly Sunday evening Mass is to continue to grow and foster a Young Adult outreach in the greater Oak Park area, please note that ALL ARE WELCOME to join in this weekly Eucharist. Additionally, there is hope to develop increased liturgical and social engagement with our teen community. This Mass initiative is co-sponsored by the two Oak Park Catholic Parishes, Ascension and St. Edmund and St. Catherine-St. Lucy and St. Giles. Our parish priests rotate presiding at the Sunday evening Mass and music ministers from the two parishes have joined to form a music team. Jane Anne Campbell (ja.campbell@ascensionoakpark.com) and Alex Ryan (alexryan@stgilesparish.org) coordinate liturgical ministries for this Mass – All are welcome to be a music minister, lector, eucharistic minister, altar server or greeter!
Sign Up Here to Get Information about Liturgical Ministries
Liturgical ministers of all ages are welcome to serve. Additionally, we do have a special mandate to develop a team of young adults and high school students to serve in the liturgical and music ministries each week. All are welcome to sign up to be a lector, eucharistic minister, server or greeter. Volunteer scheduling for THIS Mass has its own separate signup genius, independent of the scheduling for all the other Masses.
Volunteer Schedule through Sign-Up Genius
Each week we accept non-perishable food items at this Mass. Instead of passing a collection basket each week, EVERYONE will be invited to process to the altar during the procession of the gifts. You can bring up a food item and or drop your monetary stewardship offering in a large basket or simply come up and offer the gift of yourself to the Lord. As the bread and wine are offered to God, we too, offer ourselves as we share in Christ’s body and blood and become more like him sharing Christ’s presence in the world.
Young Adults or high school students interested in serving in any music or liturgical ministry may contact any of our parish priests or any of the music directors at our different sites: David Anderson at d.anderson@ascensionoakpark.com, Michael Silhavy at michaelsilhavy@gmail.com, or Sue Kaszynski at skaszynski@stgilesparish.org. Those interested in serving for a ministry other than music, contact Jane Anne Campbell at ja.campbell@ascensionoakpark.com.
COMING TO MASS
- All are welcome at St. Catherine of Siena – St. Lucy, St. Giles and St. Edmund Churches. Pandemic Restrictions on numbers in the church are lifted, and we no longer need to require registration prior to attending Masses or any other prayer service or event. Come to church whenever you are able.
- Masks are optional for all those entering the Churches and all buildings on the Parish campus.
- During Mass and other services, come to participate with your heart and your voice! We will be providing worship aids so that we may once again all sing together.
- Eucharistic Ministers will continue to sanitize their hands prior to the distribution of communion. Those coming to communion may have their hands sanitized if they wish.
Some may be nervous about returning to Mass and those that have been back in church may be nervous about these changes. Greeters and Ushers will remain present as you enter the building to ease the transition back to church. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to one of the greeters or ushers and they can assist you.
Our hearts yearn to be present again with each other. Welcome Home!
