Diocese of Joliet Phase 3 of Targeted Restructuring

Two years ago, the Diocese of Joliet launched a three-year targeted restructuring process to better organize parishes, schools and other Catholic institutions. The third and final phase of targeted restructuring began in March of 2024. This phase includes Christ the Servant parish. You can view the letter which explains the restructuring here.

As part of Phase 3 of the targeted restructuring process for the Diocese of Joliet, two Parish Listening Sessions were scheduled. Session one was held on September 30. Eighty-six small group responses were recieved. Information was condensed into bullet point statements for ease of reading by the Catholic Leadership Institute, and potentially the Diocese of Joliet Target Restructuring Committee. The four feedback questions and responses are:

#1: What are the small groups key takeaways? Responses
#2: Are there other data points or information that you feel are necessary to consider? Responses
#3: In what ways does our Parish serve the community? Responses
#4: What are the gifts of your Parish? Responses

The second and final All Parish Listening Session is Monday, November 4th at 7:00 pm. Please attend this second session as you did the first session. We need to show the ones monitoring how strongly we feel about the unwanted/unnecessary targeted restructuring.

Ladies Lunch Out

The Over 50 Ladies Club monthly luncheon is scheduled for Tuesday, October 22, 2024 at 1:00PM at Nonnies Pizza in Woodridge. Contact the luncheon coordinator by October 20 to reserve your spot. New members are welcome. More information can be found on page 3 in the bulletin.

Undy Sunday, October 20, 2024

New underwear and socks are the most-requested, but least-donated items at Catholic Charities. These basic items (new underwear, warm socks, a fresh diaper) are truly treasures to those who are living in poverty. Christ the Servant is collecting NEW underwear, undershirts, socks, and diapers for children and adults living in low-income households. Collection will be held on October 19/20 after all masses. See page 3 in the bulletin for more details.

Christmas Crafts

It’s time again for our annual Therese Ranalli Memorial Craft Show. The event will take place on Saturday & Sunday (December 7/8) More information can be found on page 3 in the bulletin.

MANNA Sales

There is a Manna sale in progress. Orders (and payment) are due by the end of the 10:00am mass on Sunday, October 13, 2024. Pickup is the weekend of October 19/20. You can download an order form by clicking on the MANNA image in the left hand column.

Recycling Event - November 16!

The next Electronic Recycling Event, sponsored by eWorks ESI and our Green Team, has been scheduled for November 16, at 8:30-11:30 am in the church parking lot. eWorks will be charging $25 - $35 for CRTs, flat screens, televisions, and monitors.

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN YOUR 8th GRADE NUN?
HIT COMEDY - NOVEMBER 8, 2024

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.
