Saints Peter and Paul has been selected by the Diocese of Joliet as a pilot parish for Hallow's Lenten Challenge. Hallow is the number-one Catholic app in the world, with over 7 million downloads and 150 million prayers completed within the app. Every Lent, Hallow organizes one of the largest community prayer programs in the world, with over 200,000 projected participants in 2023. We will be journeying through this content together as a parish, which is centered around the spiritual masterpiece, Imitation of Christ, written by Thomas à Kempis in the 15th century.
To truly immerse ourselves in this content, we'll be working with Hallow directly to host a 7-week program through Lent, including weekly dinners and discussions.

Our family joined Saints Peter and Paul parish about six years ago. What we like most about the parish is that we feel continually drawn to grow in spirituality here. Each season finds us growing deeper in our faith, either through the mass, the openness of our priests and nuns, parish programs, the parish school or the example of other parishioners. I don’t think we could have found a better spiritual home.

The sense of community and deep faith among parishioners is something our family is fortunate to experience. The beauty and magnificence of the Church, the intimacy of the Adoration Chapel and various ministries that benefit so many make Saints Peter & Paul an amazing community.
