Welcome to
SAINT PAUL
THE APOSTLE
Gurnee, IL
Take a SIP with SPA! (Take a Shelter-In-Place with Saint Paul the Apostle!)
From The Pastor's Desk
The Pastor's Reopening Leadership Team
is planning to REOPEN our church on MAY 30th with Reconciliation at 11am.
Private Prayer will begin on June 1st - Mondays 5-7pm; Wednesdays 8-10am, Fridays 5-7pm.
The more volunteers we have, the more we will be able to extend the Private Prayer time. Please become a volunteer.
NOTE: For Reconciliation and Private Prayer, 10 or fewer worshipers can be present in the church at any time.
If there are more people present for these occasions then they will need to wait patiently for their turn in the designated areas.
Funeral, Wedding & Baptism for 10 or fewer attendees/worshipers can be scheduled now.
The celebration of Public Daily and Sunday Mass is not yet allowed.
I would like to express my gratitude for the generous donations that you gave our Parish. I sincerely appreciate the assistance you provide for SPA at this difficult SIP time for all of us. It feels great to know that we have great friends like you. Please remember that there are several ways to help St. Paul the Apostle financially during the coronavirus outbreak. Thank you so much.

THANK YOU TO THE SPA FAMILY
In the name of our parish, Our Lady of Refuge and its 4 Missions, I wish to thank Fr.Chris, Fr. Joe and all the wonderful parishioners of St. Paul the Apostle for your support. We greatly appreciate it. I boarded the plane to go back to Texas on March 2nd and since then so much has happened to change our lives. Covid-19 has truly impacted everyone. Hopefully soon, we will be able to again have Masses with people present and not just live-streaming. Let’s pray for each other and may God bless you and your families for your generosity. Padre Pablo
