St. Mary's Church & School

We are complying with policies set by the Diocese of Springfield in IL and the State of IL. Read https://www.dio.org/coronavirus.
The Sunday obligation has been dispensed: it is not a mortal sin to stay home from Sunday Mass at this time.

Please read Fr. Jeremy's letter of March 18, 2020.

As of Wednesday, March 18, public Masses are canceled, as well as group Stations of the Cross and all other parish activities on-site and off-site. The parish office is also closed for regular business (see below).

St. Mary's Parish, in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois, is committed to ensuring a safe environment for parishioners of all ages to gather as a community of faith that worships and learns—without fear of abuse or harm. Specifically, we train and run background checks on all employees and volunteers of the parish and school, to ensure that no child is alone with an adult, and that children understand safe and appropriate touch. Contact the St. Mary's Safe Environment Coordinator at the parish office, 618-465-4284 x226.
