After a three year hiatus, Trivia Night was BACK in-person on February 11th! Over 200 people enjoyed one of the most fun nights of the year. The competition was fierce -- both for Trivia and in the Table Theme contest. Congratulations to the Party Crashers for winning Trivia and to the 80's Heroes for winning the Table Theme. Special thanks to Father Trout and Father Emanuel for your presence and support, for which we are grateful. Hope to see you for Trivia Night in 2024!

Please join us in congratulating this year's Golden Rose award recipient, Sheila Tucker.  The Golden Rose Awards were presented to the candidates on Feb. 5, 2023, by the Most Reverend Jeffrey Grob, Bishop of Vicariate 1, at a special Mass at 3pm at St. Mary of the Annunciation, Mundelein.  Recipients of this award have shown leadership, portrayed spirituality, and gone above and beyond in a service project.
