SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION / Confessions
Reconciliation (also known as Confession or Penance) is offered at St. Edmund Church every Saturday from 4:00 to 4:45 PM - The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a gift of healing, so nothing is holding us back from experiencing union with Christ through the Eucharist.
Your child will participate in celebrating First Reconciliation prior to or in preparation for celebrating their First Communion.
Appointments for private confessions can be made by calling the Parish Office at (708) 848-2703 during business hours.

Catholic Communities of Oak Park and Neighbors - 5:00 PM Sunday Evening Mass
-
St. Edmund Church
188 S. Oak Park Avenue - Oak Park, IL 60302
The 5:00 PM Sunday evening Mass welcomes all Oak Park Parish Communities is held at St. Edmund Church - This Mass is also geared toward young adult community members on the 4th Sunday of each Month, with hospitality and community building activities after Mass.
While one of the focuses for this weekly Sunday evening Mass is to continue to grow and foster a Young Adult outreach in the greater Oak Park area, please note that ALL ARE WELCOME to join in this weekly Eucharist. Additionally, there is hope to develop increased liturgical and social engagement with our teen community. This Mass initiative is co-sponsored by the two Oak Park Catholic Parishes, Ascension and St. Edmund and St. Catherine-St. Lucy and St. Giles. Our parish priests rotate presiding at the Sunday evening Mass and music ministers from the two parishes have joined to form a music team.
Jane Anne Campbell ([email protected]) and Alex Ryan ([email protected]) coordinate liturgical ministries for this Mass – All are welcome to be a music minister, lector, eucharistic minister, altar server or greeter!
> Get Info on Liturgical Ministers
Each week we accept non-perishable food items at this Mass. Instead of passing a collection basket each week, EVERYONE will be invited to process to the altar during the procession of the gifts. You can bring up a food item and or drop your monetary stewardship offering in a large basket or simply come up and offer the gift of yourself to the Lord. As the bread and wine are offered to God, we too, offer ourselves as we share in Christ’s body and blood and become more like him sharing Christ’s presence in the world.
Young Adults or high school students interested in serving in any music or liturgical ministry may contact any of our parish priests or any of the music directors at our different sites: David Anderson ([email protected]), Michael Silhavy ([email protected]), or Sue Kaszynski ([email protected]). Those interested in serving for a ministry other than music, contact Jane Anne Campbell ([email protected]).
