Father Bob Duda, Pastor

Look at what's happening at Christ the Servant!

Diocese of Joliet Phase 3 of Targeted Restructuring

Great News! Bishop Hicks officially Decreed, Christ the Servant will continue to exist as independent parish. CST is approved to remain open and welcoming. Father Bob has thanked Pastor Dan Bachner, Saint Raphael in Naperville for supporting our parish. Fr. Bachner serves on the Restructuring Committee, and is head of the area priests. In the near future we will offer a Thanksgiving Mass.

Deacon Rod has written a Prayer of Thanksgiving
Gracious and Loving God, our hearts overflow with gratitude and joy for the countless blessings you have bestowed upon us. You have heard our please, felt our struggles, and in our infinite wisdom, you answered our prayers in ways we could not have imagined.
When we were confused and lacked clarity, we put our trust in you. When we had no idea where this process would eventually lead us, we put our trust in you. When we felt frustrated and misunderstood, we put our trust in you. Hundreds of parishioners prayed week after week that our parish would survive, and thrive for many years to come. Each prayer was but a single flame of hope.
Together, our prayers formed a bacon of light, illuminating the darkness and Bringing hope to the weary. Jesus, thank you for being the Light of the World. Thank you for showing us how to live a life of trusting in you. Give us the courage to shine your Light on all we meet, and be a reflection of your Light to everyone we encounter. Amen

Also, please pray for those experiencing and those supporting changes at the parishes closing or being combined. We ask the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom, compassion and strength as we work together to build a stronger, more vibrant Church within the Diocese of Joliet.

Sunday Liturgy

Christ the Servant continues to post the Saturday mass by Fr. Bob on facebook and YouTube (@christtheservant) at about 4:30 pm on Saturday. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl4CVB_eUB4ts51DxKyoiag The plan is to continue providing a Mass each week as long as necessary. The Mass will be posted at 4:30 pm Saturday, and remain available during the rest of the week.

Radio Broadcast of Mass

Even with the precautions being taken at mass, you may still feel it best to participate by listening to mass while being in your car. When mass is going on, you can listen to the audio on 88.3 FM. We found that the reception is best on the northern end of the original parking lot. (That's the side of the building the transmitter is on.) A communion minister will come outside the entrance doors for radio listeners to come receive communion. You must still observe use of face masks and social distancing. Hand sanitizer will be available for your use as well.
