Bishop Douglas Preyna Visits Holy Family

Last weekend, our mission community was blessed by the presence of the Most Reverend Douglas Preyna, Rector of Saint John the Evangelist Seminary. During our recent National Conference and Retreat, our community approved the academic formation program of Saint John the Evangelist for our candidates to the Priesthood.
Bishop Preyna will be returning to Chicago in November to be Guest Speaker at the Bishop's Dinner and Awards Ceremony on November 13th.

Planning Your Wedding?
If you are considering entering into the Sacrament of Marriage, we urge you to please make contact with a member of the pastoral team to discuss your marriage plans. If you wish more information regarding the pastoral policies and sacramental preparation program of the Evangelical Catholic Church, please visit our web at http://www.evangelicalcatholicchurch.org/marriage.htm For those who have been divorced, please visit http://www.evangelicalcatholicchurch.org/remarriage.htm
Mass Intentions
Holy Family has envelopes available for making arrangements for Mass Intentions. If you wish to have a Mass celebrated for the intention of someone, please fill out the envelope and place it either in the collection plate or give it to Bishop. The suggested donation for Masses is ten dollars. If that amount is difficult to arrange, any donation for the Mass Intention would be gratefully accepted.

Sacramental Preparations
For those wishing to enter into the Sacrament of Marriage, our preparation program requires couples and their pastor to arrange for six one-hour meetings to prepare for the Sacrament. So it is important for couples to speak with the parish before any formal announcement of a date is made. Also, keep in mind if an application for a Dissolution of Marriage needs to be made, give yourself enough time to gather all of the documents needed for this.
For those planning for the Sacrament of Baptism, please know that the family and their pastor will need to arrange for two meetings prior to the celebration. Also, your pastor will need to speak with those chosen to be godparents.
If you have any questions, always feel free to call the parish.
FYI: Please review our Recommended Donations/Stipends for Celebration of Sacraments
