Saint Germaine

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.

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.

Year for Priests

Pope Benedict XVI has declared a “Year for Priests” beginning with the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 19, 2009. The year will conclude in Rome with an international gathering of priests with the Holy Father on June 19, 2010.
With the announcement of this Year for Priests, the Pope has declared St. John Vianney the Universal Patron of Priests on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of the Curé d’Ars.
