Online Mass for
the FOURTH Sunday of Easter
at the Border Town Parishes May 11, 2025
Celebrated at St. Anne's Church
230 North Sixth Avenue
St. Anne, IL 60964
We are all shepherds and we are all sheep - each of us has been given a vocation to serve others in some way in God's name (we are shepherds) and in many ways others serve us in God's name (we are sheep). Today's homily is one of thanksgiving, highlighting the many ways that many individuals serve the community through their time, talent and financial resources.
Preceding the Mass are highlights from Divine Mercy Sunday and the Blessing of Children on April 27, 2025.

Spring Break Mission Trip 2025
For the second time in two years, Tim Cook (Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students) sent a group of students and staff to the Eastern Kankakee area for a week of service, prayer and fellowship. Led by CC Staff Pam Plasberg and Jessica McClelland, the students were able to celebrate Masses at St. Patrick's Church & Good Shepherd Manor (Momence, IL), St. Anne's Church (St. Anne, IL), Maternity BVM Church (Bourbonnais, IL), St. George Church (Bourbonnais, IL), the Annunciation Monastery in Minooka, IL and the Cerrito de Camino y Esperanza Retreat House in St. Anne, IL.
While on Spring Break Mission, the students were able to work on the following projects...
- Removing, "planing" and re-installing wooden planks on the picnic tables at Good Shepherd Manor (Momence, IL)
- Painting the Parish Basement Hall at St. Patrick's Church (Momence, IL)
- Finishing a Gymnasium Renovation Project at St. Patrick's Academy & Community Center Gymnasium (Momence, IL)
- Painting Rooms at Bishop McNamara High School (Kankakee, IL)
- Renovating a Child Care Center into a Community Center (Pembroke Township)
Much thanks to Kristen Stockle and the good souls at Good Shepherd Manor for housing the students during the week. Much thanks to everyone who made this wonderful Spring Break Mission possible!!!
