A registered member receives correspondence from the parish, such as contribution envelopes If you are not registered, please do so. Our registration process can be completed during parish office business hours (Mon Fri 9am 2pm) over the phone, by email (info@stpeterdamian.org) using an electronic parish registration form, or by mail. Please contact the parish office with any questions at (630) 837-5411 or to check if you are registered. If you would like to be contacted please complete the information below and submit it to the parish office. Name: Phone: Address: City: Email Address: So Many Benefits To Using Your Envelopes There are many benefits to using your envelopes once registered with the parish. Using your envelopes makes it easier for us to keep track of your donations so we can give you a statement at the end of each year. If you put a check in the collection basket and you are registered, we will record that contribution. However, this creates extra work for the volunteers who count the Sunday collection because they have to make a copy of your check, and for the office staff because they have to search for your name or envelope number in order to record your contribution. We unfortunately cannot track donations of loose cash, so any donation done this way will not count towards a tax letter. If you would like to receive envelopes and you aren t currently receiving them, please contact the parish office. 6 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart for God loves a cheerful giver.
The 2018 Mass Book is open. Masses can be said for a variety of reasons, not just in remembrance of a loved one. It is a thoughtful way to recognize a friend or family member s special day.

There will be Bible Study on Wednesday, March 21st after morning mass at 9:10am in Fellowship Hall, lower level of the Chapel and 7:00 p.m. in the Saint John Paul II Resource Center, lower level of the Rectory.
