Unification Team Updates
The Unification Team met on September 15th. The agenda for the meeting was to continue the work of supporting the parish during the naming process. Discussion surrounded the team’s deep gratitude and pleasure at the numerous submissions of prayerfully considered names. The group worked to continue to find ways to increase parish input in the naming process. The group reviewed the process for tracking submissions and reviewing the proposed names to ensure that names put forward conform to the archdiocesan requirements.
The team will meet on September 27th. At this meeting, the Unification Team, along with the pastor, will discern all the names for consideration. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue this discernment process.
A current list of the names that have been submitted so far is available electronically at Submitted Church Names.
A paper copy of this list is available at the entrances of the church. Some of the submitted names are available for us to use, but some of them are not. Names that are available are those that meet the archdiocesan guidelines.

In case you were not at the announcement meeting last night, Cardinal Cupich decided that St. Lawrence O'Toole, St. Irenaeus, and Infant Jesus of Prague will unify as a new parish based on Infant Jesus' campus beginning July 1, 2022. It has sent a shockwave through our parish and our hearts. I urge people not to be ugly about the decision. Be Christian and pray for all parishes that will be transitioning this July.
