Welcome
HOLY GUARDIAN ANGELS, PRAY FOR US!
The primary purpose of our Religious Education Program is faith formation. The second purpose of our Religious Education program is sacramental preparation.
At Holy Guardian Angels, we value life-long learning. We make this journey together with our families, with our friends, and with our community. Part of growing closer to Christ means continually opening our hearts to learning more about the beauty and depth of the Gospel! From our early childhood ministries and Religious Education program, to our active youth group, young adults, and many adult learning opportunities, we strive to constantly move toward growing in our faith!
Please use the sitemap above to find resources for understanding your faith, getting you, or your family involved in parish life, or wondering what is going on at our parish.

Interfaith Community Partners
Did you know? ICP volunteers can drive older adults (60+) to get their Covid vaccines if they have no other way to get there. Please think about your older adult neighbors who may need help during this difficult time and share ICP's office phone number: (708) 354-9328
Interfaith Community Partners is a non-profit organization that works together with volunteers to provide escorted transportation for people 60 and better to get to places like physician appointments and therapies. We do not charge our clients and ask for suggested donations, when able.
Interfaith Community Partners also offers Library Home Delivery Service.
We need volunteer drivers! We'll train you via Zoom. We'll work around your busy life. Background check required. Find out more about Interfaith Community Partners!
Re-Opening Our Churches
As you know, Cardinal Cupich recently announced a multi-phased plan for reopening churches in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
Specifically,
- Phase I allows for parishes to reopen for Baptism, Reconciliation, Weddings and Funerals
- Phase IA allows for parishes to reopen for private prayer and adoration.
- Phase II allows for reopening for weekday and weekend Masses for larger groups.
Throughout all these Phases, people will be required to wear masks, use hand sanitizers and maintain 6 feet social distancing.
