Things are changing quickly, so please check back often.
The Archdiocese of Chicago is allowing parishes to open for limited numbers of people for Mass, Reconciliation, Adoration, Funerals, Baptisms and Weddings provided that the parish follow detailed Archdiocesan procedures. For information about what to expect when you return, see the attached pamphlet. When you arrive at St. George, please be patient and understanding as we are required to follow these procedures.
• Everyone will be asked to reserve a place at any service using the SignUp Genius links below.
• All will be asked to check in when arriving at church.
• Greeters will welcome and direct you when you arrive.
• A mask is required inside the Church at all times.
• Please maintain a six-foot social distance from others at all times.
Mass: Celebration of Mass is back at St. George. Each week we
will have a Sunday Vigil Mass on Saturday at 4:00, three Masses on Sunday -- 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 am, as well as a weekday Mass at 8:15 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Attendance is limited to 120 persons for weekend Masses and 50 persons on weekdays, so reservations are required. Please use the link below to save your spot, or call the rectory office at (708) 532-2243.
Reconciliation: Every Saturday from 3:00 to 3:30 pm. Reconciliation during Advent is available from 2:30 to 3:30 pm: December 5, 12 and 19.

Adoration and Private Prayer: In church every Wednesday, 6-7 pm. (Please note that the schedule may change as more Masses resume.)

WE ARE IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS WITH THE REOPENING
OF ST. GEORGE CHURCH. Specifically, we are in need of cleaning volunteers. The role of a cleaning volunteer is to wipe down pews and kneelers, vestibule doors, Sanctuary, lecterns, priest masks, restroom handles, restroom light switches and faucets: That’s it! Please use the link below to sign-up, or call the rectory office at (708) 532-2243. You will then be mailed a confirmation and a small explanation of what we do.
Funerals, Baptisms and Weddings: Call the rectory office (708) 532- 2243.
We all look forward and pray for the day that we can once again celebrate mass together as the St. George Parish community. St. George as always is a welcoming community and our greeters will try to make you feel at home under these circumstances.
Please be aware:
• Dispensation from Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation continues.
• We still advise that the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions stay at home and participate through livestreamed and televised Masses.
• We will continue to serve those who cannot attend Masses in person by livestreaming Mass on our Facebook page and posting to our webpage.
Church Reopening Committee
ST. GEORGE CHURCH NEEDS YOUR HELP!
It's nice to be able to come back to church! Thanks to all our volunteers, we are making our re-opening carefully and safely. We are still in need of more help, especially following Mass to sanitize the church. It is simple, and will only take about fifteen minutes. Please call the office and volunteer!
