Police Masses
|
Join
us each 2nd and
4th Sunday at 11:00 a.m. |
Please
note the following:
Because Mercy Home's main campus is a
residence for about 150 at-risk youth, they have not fully opened
up. Therefore, we won't be gathering in the chapel, which is
connected to the dormitory and still closed to outsiders.
Instead, we'll be gathering in the INDOOR
SOCCER FIELD located on the SW corner of Adams and Aberdeen.
Feel free to park in the lot accessible from Aberdeen
(between Adams and Jackson). The entrance to the soccer field
building faces that parking lot. The door will be propped open.
In an abundance of caution and concern for their residents,
Mercy Home still asks that visitors to
their campus wear face masks. So please dust yours off and
bring it that day, even though you don't need it elsewhere. Their
rules...we gotta respectfully play by them.
I'm so excited to
be back to seeing and praying with each other! It's been way too
long.
Police Chaplains Ministry invites you and
your family to our regular Sunday Mass:
2nd and 4th Sundays of
each month, 11:00 a.m. (except Chicago Marathon Sunday). Chapel located at
Mercy Home for Boys and Girls, 1140 W. Jackson Boulevard, Chicago,
IL. Ample parking on surrounding streets, and in large parking lots with
access from Aberdeen Street, between Adams Street and Jackson Boulevard.
Please do not park in the Racine Avenue lot. Mass is typically over before
11:30 a.m. to accommodate on-duty worshippers. Fellowship with coffee and
refreshments usually follows Mass in the cafeteria for those who can stay.
However, we do not gather after Mass on holidays. While this is a Catholic
Mass, all members of the CPD family are welcome, regardless of creed.

Please note that on Easter Sunday, Mothers' Day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, Mass is moved up to
10:00 a.m.
On Fathers' Day, Mass is also at 10:00
a.m. -- but the venue is moved to
Gold Star Families
Memorial and Park. This is an outdoor Mass, so
weather plays a factor, and guests are reminded to
bring their own seating (lawn chairs, blankets,
etc.). In the event of inclement weather, call the
chaplains office to make sure the Mass is still on.
Also, please note: On the Sunday in October when the
Chicago Marathon is run, we do NOT hold the CPD Mass
at Mercy Home because our location is on the
marathon route. Watch our home page for an alternate
location on this particular Sunday. |
