St. Alexander Church at 300 S Cornell, Villa Park, IL 60181 US - Home

Welcome to St. Alexander's! 
300 S Cornell Avenue, Villa Park, IL  60181
630-833-7730


      Dear Friends,
          St. Alexander Parish is a loving, caring, faith-filled community. We think we have something very special - a warm, close, active and friendly group of parishioners who have accepted the Lord into their life, and in loving God, have come to serve Him.
     The Gospel of John tells us He is the true vine, and we are the branches. Jesus says if we are connected to Him, we will bear much fruit. We are proud of our parish because we are connected to Jesus, not only through our Eucharistic celebrations, but also in our service to one another.
     If you are in our geographical area, please come worship with us.
 
                                                 Love and prayers,

                                                Rev. Tuan Van Nguyen, Pastor

     We hope you will find useful information about our parish on this website.  The menu at the left shows what is available here.   Because our parish bulletin with current news of our spiritual, service and social events is uploaded weekly, our news is always current to the previous week (the Bulletin's link can access the last four).  More in-depth articles on our parish and its parishioners are available at the Newsletter link; this link accesses the last 3 issues of the triennial newsletter.  Explore these and the other links to find information you need.  Special  or seasonal events may also be highlighted below.

We thank our generous parishioners who continue to support our "Pay off the Loan" campaign using with the envelope in their monthly envelope packets, as well as continuing to use our Memorial Gift program to honor a  living  friend or relative or remember deceased family members or friends with full or partial Memorial Gifts.  There are many such remaining gifts: center aisle pews and side pews, pew chairs, and a number of doors and windows.  Do consider such a Memorial for one of your loved ones.
These gifts will help us pay off our loan as quickly as possible, and reduce the amount of our parish loan.
      The Memorial Book and its initial pages of contributors to the Capital improvement campaigns of 1993, 1999 and 2003 (through June 1, 2007) is permanently displayed at the Main/east entrance to the Church/Gathering Space/Parish Center.  Memorial Gift donors and those who give a new general contribution after June 1, 2007, will have their names engraved on pages to be added later; in the meantime names of donors and their gifts are printed on these pages.
