What's in a Name?/¿Que Hay en un nombre?
We
need your input and
time is of the essence! We ask
that you cast a vote to submit your
top two choices
of the new parish name. The survey will be
available between now and
Monday, August 31st at 12
noon. The Parish
Naming subcommittee will meet on Monday evening to
discuss the votes and finalize on three names to send to
the Cardinal for his review to the RMC Committee.
The committee will then review on September 8, 2020 and
provide their decision.
Please complete the survey by clicking here to help us
determine the new parish name.
Select your top 2 choices by
noon on Monday, August
31.
Share this with your friends and family at St. Dismas
and St. Anastasia sites.
Thanks for your support!

Reopening Plans at St. Dismas Parish
Most updated statements from the Archdiocese of Chicago can be found here.Please take a moment to watch the video of Parishioner Guidelines as you return to St. Dismas.
In order to maintain appropriate social distancing, St. Dismas can accommodate 40 parishioners per Mass. Over time, additional Masses will be added on the weekend as long as we can assure everyone’s safety. Before coming to Mass, we ask that you read review the Parishioner Guidelines provided by the Archdiocese. The daily Mass will be offered Monday to Saturday at 7:00 am followed by Rosary and Adoration and will be livestreamed on our Facebook page and YouTube channel. Our weeekend Masses will include the Saturday (Sunday Vigil Mass) at 4 pm and Sunday mornings at 7 am, 9 am, and 11 am. The 9 am Sunday Mass will be livestreamed for those who are feeling uncomfortable to attend or unable to do so because of health issues.
Registration
is required to
attend any of our Masses.
You may sign up on our Mass Attendee sign up page
using SignUpGenius. If you are unsure how
to do this or do not have access to a computer or a
smartphone, you may call the office Monday through Friday
to register. A limited number of reservations can be
made through the office. Please leave a brief
message with your name, the Mass time and date you'd like
to attend, and the number of people coming with you.
As you can imagine, there is a large demand for the
weekend Masses, therefore we ask that you consider others
when signing up and allow others to have an opportunity to
be present at a Mass.
If you have reserved a spot for a weekend Mass and find
you are unable to attend, please cancel your reservation
online.
You may also call the office Monday through Friday, 8 am
to 4 pm, and we can cancel your reservation for you as
well.

You may exit the church at the west entrance door. We respectfully ask that you leave the church once Mass has ended. We greatly appreciate no one lingering in the Gathering Area.
We Need You!
We are looking for a few good women, men, and teenage volunteers to help with the reopening of our church for weekend Masses. Specifically, we are looking for 2 volunteers to be greeters at the door, 3-4 ushers to guide parishioners at each Mass, and 3-4 volunteers to help sanitize the church after each Mass. If you would be interested in becoming a greeter, please contact Rosy Aguilar at raguilar@stdismasparish.net or contact Mark Matias at mark.matias58@gmail.com or Tom Plonowski at bwcookies@comcast.net bwcookies@comcast.net.
