From the Pastor's Desk...
Advent is coming to a close. It seems we just lit the first candle on the Advent wreath. Now, all 4 candles are lighted, and Christmas comes later this week. I pray your Advent was a prayerful and reflective time for you.
As I look at the shared ministry between the 2 parishes of Oakbrook Terrace and Lombard, we have 7 mass times for you. As you prepare to come to mass at Christmas, please be aware that we will have visitors who may not be as familiar with parking conditions and how things are arranged in church. In other words, it will help reduce the stress of going to mass if you give yourself a little extra time.
Christmas Eve: 3:00pm at Lombard, 4:00pm at Oakbrook Terrace, 5:00pm at Lombard and 9:00pm at Oakbrook Terrace. Christmas Day: 8:00am at Lombard, 9:30am at Oakbrook Terrace and 11:00am at Lombard.
May God bless you and your loved ones at this most special, wonderful time of the year.
Peace……….Fr. Jeff
