The Women of St. Catherine of Siena-St. Lucy and St. Giles Parish are sponsoring a Coat Drive to spread warmth this Winter from November 3 through November 9 - Please bring any gently used or new coats, jackets, hats, gloves, and scarves, and deposit them in the donation bins located at St. Giles Church and School Campus.

We believe that every family who desires a Catholic education should have access to one. 27% of our students receive some level of financial assistance. With your help we can reach our year end fundraising goal.

Come to a Holiday Bazaar and Bake Sale featuring home-baked goods and handcrafted gift items. Get a head start on your Christmas shopping. All proceeds benefit the Ascension and St. Edmund Parish.

Community Shared Event - All members of both Parish Communities are invited to receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. The sacrament will be offered at St. Giles Church during the 4:30 PM Mass on Saturday, November 8, and the 8:00 AM Mass on Sunday, November 9.

Non-Parish Event of Interest - This fall, join men from across our communities at Saint Mary of the Lake Conference Center in Mundelein, IL, for a powerful weekend of prayer, reflection, and fraternity. In a world filled with distraction and pressure, we are invited to return to the stillness where God's wisdom is found. Rooted in the spirituality of Saint Augustine, this retreat will help you quiet your soul, seek clarity, and walk more confidently in God’s path.

Please bring non-perishable food items to Ascension and St. Edmund Churches during Mass for our monthly St. Simon of Cyrene Food Pantry collection. Monetary donations are accepted in the offertory baskets at church or online.
