Our public Masses at this time are in St. Michael's Church and are held on Sunday at 10:00am and daily Mass on Tuesday at 8:00am with the devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual Help afterwards. Click the red button below to see the schedule of upcoming liturgies and the link to make a reservation to attend that liturgy. The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be held every Saturday from 11:am - noon. There is no need to make reservations for this but you will need to sign in upon entry into the church. Each weekday (Monday through Friday) daily Mass is offered at 8:00am across our Renew My Church grouping. To see the schedule for each day and the location of the Mass, Click Here! PLEASE NOTE: At this time, you MUST social distance, wear a mask and have a reservation to attend any liturgy in the church.. All reservations are being done on Eventbrite. If you have problems making a reservation, call the Parish Office and we will assist you, 312-642-2498. All liturgies require volunteers present to Set-up, Greet, and Clean (disinfect) as part of the Re-Opening plan set forth by the Archdiocese of Chicago.. We will always be accepting new volunteers, especially as the number attending liturgies and those present increases. If you are interested in helping, please call the Parish Office (312-642-2498) or email and we will connect you with the team leader. Thank you!

	School Supply Drive We don’t know how much time students of different ages will be spending in a school building this Fall, but we do know we can’t abandon the children. Every student will need a personal set of supplies, not shared. Many students have already experienced serious illness or death in their families – now more than ever, they need our help. The Human Concerns & Needs Committee will again be collecting school supplies to be distributed to the Manierre School, an inner-city school just south of North Avenue on Hudson Ave, and to Casa Romero (an after-school program in the Back of the Yards neighborhood). Our biggest need this year is simply cash. We’re happy to do the shopping and schlepping, using sales, coupons, gift cards purchased through St. Michael’s (email Pat Krier to purchase a gift card) and Office Depot’s cash back to schools program. To make a cash contribution, drop off a check at the Parish Office or follow these links: eCheck debit: https://www.osvonlinegiving.com/1026 Credit/debit card: https://st-mikes.org/modules/form.php?id=46 To view the supplies needed Click here.

Thank you!

Thank you for your contributions supporting St. Michael in Old Town! St. Michael's operate on a very tight budget. We continue to have salaries, utilities, maintenance, insurance and other expenses to pay. Without weekend liturgies, St. Michael's is losing a significant amount of income from the Offertory. Unfortunately, with Offertory down, more serious steps will need to be taken without some increase in giving. We ask that you continue to support St. Michael's Church today and every chance you are able.

To give electronically, you can set up a recurring payment on your credit card, debit card or have it deducted from directly from your bank account.
