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; session 2 on November 4. Eighty-six small group responses were received form the first session. 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

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.
