The 2026 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal has begun!

The Diocese of Joliet invites all parishioners to support the 2026 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA). Together, we can make a profound difference.

This year’s theme is Beyond all Expectations: Faith that Elevates! Through the CMAA, we ensure Christ’s mission and ministries reach everyone. We provide shelter for the homeless, feed the hungry, support vocations, and educate the next generation of Catholics. Our parish cannot accomplish this alone. As a diocese, we can do so much more.

Our parish goal is $105,000. We receive 70% of any amount raised over goal to use within our parish. Please review your mailing from the Diocese of Joliet and prayerfully reflect on your gift to this year’s appeal.

If you do not receive a CMAA mailing, please contact the parish office. Thank you!

Come out this weekend for a hearty Spaghetti Dinner and support Scout Troop 512!

Please return your bottles this weekend:

You’re the Best piece of St. Scholastica!

Just as every member completes our parish family, every piece was needed to complete our parish puzzle! It was an honor to celebrate St Scholastica at Mass, Veneration and reception with so many of you. Please enjoy some pictures from our event.

Our St. Scholastica Catechists attended the Catechist Evening of Formation last week at St. Margaret Mary Parish in Naperville – an evening at side to learn,  grow,  and refill their hearts.  It was a special time to deepen their own faith so they can continue to faithfully accompany, guide,  and share the love of Christ with our children & families! We are so grateful for their generosity,  dedication,  and a joyful “YES!” to this ministry.  Thank you to ALL of our Catechists for all that you do-you are such a gift to our parish!

For the past few months, J.O.Y.

Session 3 – THE TRAIL BEFORE PILOT. 27:40

A BIG shout out to the members of the CCW who generously stepped up to serve at our St Scholastica Feast Day celebration. You embody the hospitality spirit of St. Scholastica.

Join us in pledging our prayers and support for Bishop Dennis Spies who has been appointed as Apostolic Administrator for the Diocese of Joliet.
