Mission Statement

We, the family of St. Germaine, are a Catholic community which celebrates God's presence in our lives by providing opportunities for spiritual growth and social awareness through worship, education, service and friendship.

As a parish community we seek to relate the Gospel to our everyday lives, promote Christian education for all our members, respond to the needs in our parish and world communities, and enjoy and support one another in a spirit of unity and purpose.

Pray with the Church

The Liturgy of the Hours (sometimes referred to as the Divine Office or Breviary) is the official daily prayer of the Church. Learn more about the Liturgy of the Hours and iBreviary here. Prayers for different parts of each day of the year are contained in four printed volumes but each day can be found by following the link to iBreviary.

Catholics Come Home

The parishes of the Archdiocese of Chicago extend a special invitation to become an active part of the Family of God in the Catholic Church.
For Catholics who have been away from the Church, this is an opportunity to "come home." For those searching for a church home, the Catholic Church offers a welcome.

Where will you find God today?

Many people find God at church on Sundays. A new website from Loyola Press offers people to opportunity to share the experience of finding God on the "other six" days of the week. Other6.com takes the essence of the Ignatian examination of consciousness, or Examen, and adapts it for today’s Internet-driven world by posing two questions: Where have you found God today? and Where do you need to find God today?
