PLEASE TAKE THE DMI SURVEY STARTING WED., FEB. 18Recently, parishioners across the Archdiocese of Chicago were invited through their parish to share their thoughts, reflect on their spiritual growth as well as provide parish leadership with invaluable insight regarding their parish’s strengths and opportunities through a survey, the Disciple Maker Index (DMI). This tool is a trusted parish survey that helps us listen carefully to the voices of our community and better understand how we are growing as missionary disciples of Jesus Christ. This survey is designed to be repeated every two to three years to see changes over time through data comparison. Please contact Fr. Carlton with any questions.The survey will be available on the parish website and Facebook pages and will also be available in paper form starting Wednesday, February 18, 2026 and will be available until Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

SUNDAY LENTEN CANDLELIGHT MASSES AT 7PM IN ST. EUGENE CHURCHDuring Lent, we are continuing the 7pm Sunday night candlelight masses that were started during Advent. The first candlelight mass will be on Sunday, February 22.As we journey through the Lenten season—a time of repentance, fasting, and preparation of the heart—this candlelit Mass offers a unique opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and enter into quiet communion with God. Surrounded by the gentle glow of candlelight, the liturgy will be celebrated in an atmosphere of reverence and peace, inviting worshippers toreflect deeply on Christ’s sacrifice and the call to conversion.The soft light symbolizes Christ, the Light of the World, who shines in the darkness and guides us toward hope, mercy, and new life and will help create a contemplative space where hearts can be lifted and spirits renewed.All are welcome—families, individuals, and anyone seeking a meaningful Lenten experience. Whether you attend Mass regularly or are looking for a special way to observe Lent, this evening offers a beautiful opportunity to pause, pray, and draw closer to God.Please email Fr. Robert Carlton with any questions.
