BEREAVEMENT GROUP

This ministry is dedicated to comforting members of our Parish family that are mourning the loss of a loved one by being present to them and offering support during their time of grief. Training is provided.

BIBLE STUDY

Bible Study is offered in the fall and spring for adults interested in pursuing a deeper understanding of Scripture. See church bulletin for current offerings.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

Eucharistic Adoration is an opportunity to spend some quiet time with Jesus in the Eucharist. Currently adoration is in the Chapel of Mercy on the first floor of the Parish Center on Tuesdays from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Additional effort of volunteers may be necessary to nurture and expand the availability of the adoration time.

MINISTERS OF CARE

Bring the Church to those who are no longer able to attend Mass. Volunteers visit and extend helping hands and listening ears in friendship and prayer to our elderly and infirm parishioners who are homebound. Trained and committed men and women share the Word of God and bring the Holy Eucharist to the homebound members of our parish.

MORNING PRAYER GROUP

This group meets on Tuesdays at 7:15 am for daily Mass. Prior to the Mass, they pray the rosary. Following the Mass, they participate in the devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. New participants are welcome.

RCIA

Adults desiring to complete their sacraments or to enter the Catholic Church enter the process called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). This Tri-Parish process lasts approximately nine months and culminates at the Easter Vigil. Volunteers are always needed as catechists and sponsors. Catechists lead small group discussions and present on topics relevant to the faith and from their own experience. Sponsors work one-on-one with candidates preparing to receive the Sacraments and become spiritual companions. Any person wanting to learn more about the Catholic Faith or to join our Catholic community should call Sr. Sandra at the Office Center (257-2414 x225).

RETREATS & DAYS OF RECOLLECTION

The Lemont Catholic Community offers opportunities to come together for an evening, a day, or a weekend to rejuvenate the spiritual life. These day and weekend retreats or days/evenings of recollection offer you the chance to reconnect with God and hopefully grow in your relationship with Him. They provide a chance to grow in faith and prayer while experiencing Christian community.

These retreats/days of recollection are held at various times of the year for different groups of people. Scripture, prayer/spirituality, and Christian living are common themes. Please watch the bulletin for details. Volunteers are needed to help for leadership roles and/or hospitality.

THEOLOGY ON TAP

Theology on Tap is a program sponsored by the Archdiocese of Chicago's Young Adult Ministry Office. It is a four-week summer speaker and conversation series. Catholic parishes host speakers and invite young adults in their 20s and 30s from the area to attend informational discussions focusing on faith, relationships, and work. These sessions provide young adults with opportunities to meet others their age with similar values - and to become updated on what it means to be a Catholic as an adult. The Lemont Catholic Parishes rotate hosting Theology on Tap.
