MEN4JESUS is an opportunity for the men from local Catholic parishes to get together to build a faith-filled brotherhood and reflect upon and  improve our current spirit lives. During this second season of the program, we will focus on improving our prayer life, gaining a better understanding of scripture, learning new insights about the special seasons of the Church, and gathering strength from the Holy Spirit. We gather once a month in the Parish Ministry Center at St. Hubert Church on Saturday mornings from 7:30 to 9:00am for a total of seven times.

We wrapped up the fist week with an all-school welcome assembly, where we welcomed new students in each and every grade level. We welcome back our cross country team and wish them the best of luck this season. It was absolutely beautiful for a Knight Under the Stars, our Ravinia-style parents night out. Thank you to all who joined us! Track-A-Thon is on September 16, sponsors are still needed and all are welcome to attend.

If you have a relative, friend or co-worker who has expressed interest in the church, this would be a great time to invite that person to explore the possibility of seeing whether the Roman Catholic faith community is for him or her. The first part of the 5-stage process is Inquiry – a time to ask questions and check out what the church has to offer.  During this stage, Inquirers meet on Tuesday evenings at 7. Our sessions began August 29, but it is not too late to join us this Tuesday, September 5. Call us today?

SS. Matthew & Hubert Parish office will be closed on Monday, September 4 in observance of Labor Day.

Meet Fr. Tim Fairman, our newly appointed administrator.

Effective immediately, Cardinal Blase Cupich has appointed Fr. Tim Fairman as the temporary Administrator of St. Matthew & St. Hubert Parish He will continue in his role as Pastor of St. Theresa Parish in Palatine. Fr. Tim will be meeting this week with our Vicar, Bishop Kevin Birmingham, who will highlight with Fr. Tim what he would ask of him in his role as Administrator. Please continue to pray for the repose of the soul of Fr. Mike Scherschel, and for Fr. Matt and the people of St. Matthew & St Hubert Parish. Please also be patient when making requests of Fr. Tim and Fr. Matt as they will be discerning how best to serve the needs of the parish during this challenging  time for everyone.

In the Catholic Church, it's an abbreviation for "Saints." There are two capital "S"-es: one for St. Matthew and one for St. Hubert. With a double "S" at the beginning of the title, the word "Saint" doesn't have to be repeated twice. It may take some getting used to, that’s for sure, but the two “S”-es side by side is also a way to show we’re together.

We welcome skilled, as well as new, stitchers. We look forward to prayerfully working toward God’s ever-present love and fellowship through the Prayer Shawl Ministry.   We gather the first Sunday on each month, 1-2:30 PM in the Parish Ministry Center on the St. Hubert Campus. We start back up on Sunday, September 10 (second Sunday of the month because of Labor Day).

Fr. Mike reflects on the gospel the invitations from Jesus and our new beginnings as we unite Saints Matthew and Hubert.

Whether your family is just entering the Church or returning to the practice of the Catholic Faith, all are welcome to inquire about sacramental preparation through the OCIA Process (Formerly known as RCIA). This is the process by which unbaptized young people of the age of reason come into the Church. (Infant Baptism is only for those children under the age of reason.) Older children who are already baptized, but who are uncatechized, also can prepare to celebrate the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist together with their peers during the Easter Vigil or at a Rite of Full Communion.

July 4 at 8:30 AM. Parish offices are closed.
