In the Code of Canon Law, it says that a parish priest is to strive to know the faithful entrusted to his care.

A Parish Priest gets to visit families, sharing especially in the cares, anxieties, and griefs of the faithful, strengthening them in the Lord, and prudently correcting them if they are failing in certain areas. With generous love, he gets to help the sick, particularly those close to death, by refreshing them solicitously with the sacraments and commending their souls to God; with particular diligence, he gets to seek out the poor, the afflicted, the lonely, those exiled from their country, and similarly, those weighed down by special difficulties. He is privileged to work so that spouses and parents are supported in fulfilling their proper duties and is to foster growth of Christian life in the family.

It is a joy in the priesthood to get to visit with families, to share in the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs of family life. If you or a loved one in your family would like Father to visit, please contact Father McFadden or Mary Glosson at the Parish Office at 630-851-1436 to arrange a visit. Please be as specific as possible about the need, such as a home visit, house blessing, anointing, or communion.
