The Parish Mission begins with the homily at all the weekend Masses. The preacher shares the theme of the Mission with the congregation and invites them to attend. The Mission continues over 3 consecutive nights. Depending upon the type of liturgical service chosen for a specific night, the Parish Mission can last between 60 to 90 minutes.

We are pleased to have 2 excellent Parish Mission preachers available: Dr. Mary Amore and Deacon Ron Yurcus..

Dr. Amore is a published author and an engaging speaker, well-versed in preaching missions in the areas of liturgy and Eucharist. She holds a Doctor of Ministry Degree in Liturgy and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies from Catholic Theological Union, is married and the mother of two young adults. Dr. Amore offers a wide variety of topics, including her new Stewardship Mission, which culminates in a parish ministry fair.

Deacon Ron Yurcus was ordained as a permanent deacon for the Joliet diocese in 1989 and is presently assigned to St. Petronille Parish in Glen Ellyn. A graduate of Benedictine University, Deacon Ron is gifted in preaching, and has worked extensively in the area of bereavement. Ron shares his experience as a Christian husband, father, teacher and businessman.
