A message from our Pastor

As I reflect on our 10 days of preparation and celebration for the Feast of St. Paul VI, the words of Psalm 116 come to me. "What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me?" So, our first thank you is to the Blessed Trinity for the graces poured out on us at our novena and the Mass last Sunday.

There are many people who cooperated with the Holy Spirit and helped us to pray, to reflect, to learn about our parish patron, and to celebrate him. There were those responsible for the novena, chiefly Dr. Geraldine Rohling whose knowledge of St. Paul VI and superb presentation style engaged us for nine evenings. She also brought artifacts from the Basilica in D.C. and we are grateful Msgr. Walter Rossi, the Rector of the Basilica as well. On the eighth night of the novena, we met Msgr. Robert Vitillo, Secretary-General of the International Catholic Migration Commission and learned about their work, which St. Paul VI helped to begin. Thank you, Msgr. Vitillo for coming to us virtually from Geneva, Switzerland, and for all you do to assist those in need.

The novena was planned by our Associate Pastor, Fr. Matt, and enriched by our music ministers and lectors. Thank you all for making our evenings prayerful.

The Mass for the Feast of St. Paul VI was magnificent! Our gratitude goes out to Bishop Kevin Birmingham, our Vicar, to Father Carl Morello, our Dean, and to Father Jason Malave, the Cardinal's Liaison to Renew My Church for their presence with us and their support. We owe thanks also to the Knights of Columbus for the Honor Guard for the Bishop.

The chalice used at the Mass was St. Paul VI's and was loaned to us by Very Reverend John Kartje, Rector of Mundelein Seminary. Bishop Emeritus George Rassas helped locate the chalice and the Sisters of St. Casimir, Theresa Papsis, and Theresa Dabulis who presented the chalice to the Bishop at Mass. Thank you.

Thank you to the Festival Choir and music ministers, and to Siobhan Maguire, Director of Liturgy and Worship, and Michael Silhavy, who prepared the beautiful Mass and worship aid.

The Ministry Fair was a wonderful opportunity to see the vitality of our parish! Thanks to Jane Birmingham, Manager of Stewardship and Development, for pulling it all together and to the representatives of ministries and organizations who participated. The reception was provided by the Women of St. Paul VI Parish, the Holy Name Society, and the Knights of Columbus. Thank you for nourishing us.

A special thank you to Abby Randall for the magnificent decorations for the Mass and the reception. Your talent for making our worship and our gatherings more beautiful is amazing. Thank you. Another special thank you to Bryant Rouleau, our Facilities Manager, for his generous spirit and dedication during 10 days of numerous set ups, tears downs and tech solutions. Thank you. A monumental thanks to Bill Watt, our RMC Project Manager, without whom we would not have had Dr. Rohling nor the artifacts of St. Paul VI nor his chalice. His tireless efforts contributed mightily to our 10 days. Thank you!

Finally, thank you to each of you who participated in the novena and Mass. Your presence and participation made these days a glimpse of what St. Paul VI Parish is!

Having been installed as your pastor by Bishop Birmingham, and with Fr. Matt as my Associate, I am blest indeed and filled with gratitude.

Father Tom May Pastor

SPRED (SPecial REligious Development) is a unique program adapted for persons with physical and/or developmental disabilities.

R.C.I.A.

St. Paul VI parish is preparing to begin the journey with those adults who are interested in exploring the Catholic faith and entering into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and the Church He founded through our R.C.I.A. program.

R.C.I.A., The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process of inquiry and conversation for unbaptized adults, adults baptized in another Christian faith tradition and adults baptized as Catholic, who are seeking to know more about the Catholic faith and for Catholics who have not yet received the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.

If you are an adult or a young adult 18 years or older and are interested in exploring the possibility of deepening your faith through the Sacraments of Initiation as a disciple of Christ and entering into full communion with the Catholic Church or if you know of someone who might be seeking more information or has not yet received the Sacraments of Confirmation or Eucharist.

Contact Deacon Randy Belice at rbelice@ or call the parish office at (708) 447-1020.

Meet the Staff

My name is Christine O'Connor, and I am the Business Manager of St. Paul VI Parish. As the Business Manager, I value good stewardship, accuracy, and transparency when accounting for the temporal gifts of our generous parishioners. Strong stewardship of these temporal gifts will allow St. Paul VI Parish to achieve important spiritual missions and goals. I have been a St. Mary Parishioner since my husband and I moved to Riverside in 1999. We have four children who all attended St. Mary School from 3-year-old preschool through eighth grade graduation. I am now a proud member of the newly formed St. Paul VI Parish.

Community Awareness

Today is Respect Life Sunday!

Every October the Catholic Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, and the first Sunday of October is observed as Respect Life Sunday. As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning to the end of their lives, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity of every human life.

Join Catholics nationwide in celebrating Respect Life Month! For more information:

A Prayer to St. Joseph, Defender of Life

Dearest St. Joseph, at the word of an angel, you lovingly took Mary into your home. As God's humble servant, you guided the Holy Family on the road to Bethlehem, welcomed Jesus as your own son in the shelter of a manger, and fled far from your homeland for the safety of both Mother and Child.

We praise God that as their faithful protector, you never hesitated to sacrifice for those entrusted to you.

May your example inspire us also to welcome, cherish, and safeguard

God's most precious gift of life.

Help us to faithfully commit ourselves to the service and defense of human life --

especially where it is vulnerable or threatened. Obtain for us the grace to do the will of God in all things.

Amen.
