Hauntings, Hollywood, and Holiness

All Hallow's Eve Celebration: Mass, Potluck, and Bonfire

This Saturday, October 29th, young adults from across the Chicagoland area are invited to a special event connected to the Halloween season: the annual All Hallow's Eve Celebration, being held at St. Jude Catholic Church in New Lenox, Illinois.

Mass begins at 7 p.m., followed by a potluck dinner at 8 p.m., and continuing with a bonfire and presentation on "Hauntings, Hollywood, and Holiness: A Spiritual Look @ Halloween."

So bring a dish, dress in a costume, and stop by for a great time. We'll talk about the sacred and secular origins of Halloween - and what this time of year can teach us today about our lives and our journeys of faith. See you there!

The World of QR Codes

Today we want information fast. Perhaps too fast?!... Since typing in web addresses, especially long ones, can be tiresome for people - and may result in people not finding our websites. In an age of mobile devices, it can be difficult to type in all the characters in a long URL. So now we enter a world of QR codes - those bar-code-looking boxes that link people directly to a website.

Wanting to make sure that young adults don't forget about the diocesan young adult ministry opportunities awaiting them, we have developed the following.

Click the link below now (and anytime you want) and you'll immediately access the diocesan website for young adult ministry - and then from there, you can link to our calendar, upcoming events, list of opportunities for collegians, singles, and couples, parish workshops options, and more.
