Fr. Don McLaughlin Day
Let us remember our former pastor Fr. Don McLaughlin on the 2nd anniversary of his heavenly retirement on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. We ask you to do something good for someone in his memory. May he rest in peace!
Willow Street Project
Great news! On Monday, July 21, 2025, the City Council of Wheaton has approved the ordinance for the vacation of Willow Street as detailed in the project proposed by St. Michael Parish to the Planning and Zoning Board. This is a major milestone in our plans, thanks to David Heise, chair of the Buildings and Grounds Commission and the entire team that worked to make it possible. Please read the bulletin article of July 27, 2025 for more details and next steps in the process.
Religious Education / Faith Formation Registration is now open!
This school year, we offer an alternative program called “Family Faith” while still offering the traditional model of in-classroom faith formation experience. Call our Faith Formation office now and discuss with our team which program might work best for you!
Wanna Be Catholic? The OCIA awaits you!
If you want to receive one or all of the sacraments of initiation (baptism, confirmation, eucharist) and become a Catholic Christian, or would simply like to get to know more about the Catholic faith, the OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) is the right program for you. Journey with Fr. Sunny, our OCIA Team and a host of parish speakers and resources to guide you in a better understanding of the Catholic Catholic faith. Call Colleen at 630-682-3650 for details.
Upcoming events.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
