IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE REOPENING OF HOLY GHOST CHURCH
In your U.S. mail you should have received information regarding the reopening of Holy Ghost Church. Please note that you must make a reservation, either through the link below, or by calling Fran at the parish office at 630-860-2975 on weekdays between 9 AM and Noon.
It is important to note the new Mass times. The Saturday Vigil Mass will take place at 4:00 PM. The Sunday Masses will take place at 8 AM and at 10:30 AM. Again, a reservation is required. Only the SOUTH doors will be used to ENTER and EXIT the church.
In the mailing, you received a detailed letter from Father John, as well as a brochure from the Diocese of Joliet regarding necessary safety measures. The parish office is scheduled to reopen on Wednesday, June 10, for limited business. A mask is required.
Your patience is appreciated as we work together to safely reopen our parish beginning June 13 and 14.
We are happy to announce Holy Ghost will be offering weekday Masses starting on June 10th and weekend Masses starting on June 13th-14th! Following guidelines and working within our standards, there will be a limited number of spaces available at the masses so registration is necessary. It is on a first come, first available basis. Please only sign up for one time frame and one day per week for weekday Masses so that all our parishioners may have a chance to pray. For weekend Masses, please sign up by Friday 10 AM prior to that weekends' Mass.
Face masks are mandatory. For all Masses you will be directed to your pew upon entering, please remain in that spot for the duration of the service. Guidelines and more information were sent in the US Mail. Please check your mail for more information.

Masks are to be worn at all times and hand sanitation will be provided before proceeding to your pew. Masks are only to be removed to receive communion and then replaced directly after.
Mass online will still be available for those who wish to celebrate at home due to health concerns or general unease.

Holy Ghost Church has partnered with Diocesan Catholic Life Everyday to bring something exciting to our parish. This App, which can be installed on smartphones and tablets from both Apple and Android formats, will help us communicate better with our parishioners and inspire us to be better Christians during this holy season of Lent and beyond. This app offers a lot of capabilities for improving parish communication and serving as a faith-building resource. It is well thought out and should become a real asset to complement our daily faith lives.
