We are a people of faith who offer each other and those touched by us the means to experience God through prayer, sacraments, education and mutual support in light of the Gospel and Catholic Tradition.

On Monday, October 16th, we celebrated the Mass of Mandation of the new and experienced Ministers of Communion and of Care in our Parish. Thank you for your ministry of bringing the Body of Christ to those in need! 

TEENS do you have a hard time understanding the readings at Mass? Join our new SJBYM LITURGY GROUP! We meet on Sundays at 5:00pm in the Chapel of the St John Brebeuf Church. We will discuss readings and the Gospel for Sunday Mass. Then you can stay to attend the 6:00pm Mass as a group! It's a great way to understand our liturgy better. ALL TEENS ARE INVITED!

Renew My Church – First of  a Series 

Where we are at now. ---Many Catholic communities are content and comfortable meeting the spiritual needs of those in the pews. Evangelization is left up to the Spirit, and the Great Commission to 'go and make disciples” is not fully internalized. 

Where we are going. --- We bring all people to Christ, reaching beyond those in the pews into the neighborhoods, ministering to the hurting and those who feel alienated. 

Our grouping parishes are St. Isaac Jogues, Niles and St. Martha, Morton Grove. We are beginning to discuss this future-focussed and mission-oriented planning process to discern new models that meet the changing demographics and mission needs in our area. Please let me know if you are interested in being a part of this new adventure. frmeanysjb@yahoo.com

The Catholic Church cares deeply about those who suffer a failed marriage. In the coming weeks, we at St John Brebeuf will be bringing information forward. It will show how our living body views divorce in today's world. Soon we will be getting together as divorced Catholics to better understand our faith and what it means to us today.
