This is a subtitle for your new post
Thank you for your help in this last weekend’s new mass schedule. Last weekend we began sharing priests between Ascension in Oakbrook Terrace, and Christ the King, Lombard. This is our new reality. As we move through time together we will of course be adjusting and learning from what is best practice. Last weekend I was over for the weekend masses in Oakbrook Terrace. This weekend, Fr. Bob Schoenstene is over there. It is our intent right now to be the presider at Ascension every other weekend..
I am most thankful for Fr. Bob Coleman, Fr. Jim Antiporek and Fr. Phil Danaher for their weekday help at both locations. The week of July 1, we also had 2 funerals in there! No matter where mass is celebrated, we know Jesus is present for us. He hears our prayers and gives us good guidance.
Next weekend, Peter Nguyen, one of our seminarians, will be present at mass to speak to you about his seminary experience. Our Knights of Columbus have gotten to know Peter this past year.
Peace………..Fr. Jeff
