Welcome to St. Mary’s! We would be delighted to have you join us at church anytime.
Presently, we worship in person at 10:15 A.M. on Sunday mornings. Masks are optional. We are also currently livestreaming our Sunday service which you can view by clicking here.

We have entered December and await the coming of the Christ Child. The only decoration in the church is the Advent Wreath with its purple and pink candles for the four Sundays of Advent. Then, we celebrate Jesus’ birth with a beautiful array of poinsettias and wreaths. Those blooms represent memorials and thank offerings from our parishioners. If you had a memorial or thank offering last year, you should have received a letter about participating again this year.
Encounter the hope of Advent through the work of classic and contemporary poets. Meet in the Grauer Lounge 7 to 8 PM
Followed by Compline, Prayers to End the Day Sung by Candlelight, in the Sanctuary at 8 pm
A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols
December 4 at 5:00 P.M.

We rejoice and we are grateful for the lives and gifts of LGBTQ people in our church and community. All are welcomed, loved, and celebrated in this place.
With the donations from St. Mary's Exodus Welcome Pack Closet, we have been able to supply and deliver many Welcome Packs this year. We plan to maintain the closet as a resource to Exodus and the refugees they welcome to the Chicago area. This means it needs to be well stocked to build a pack at any time. Our collection is starting to run thin, so we've created a wish list of items in need.
