Friends,

It is our hope that through these pages of our website, all our visitors will be given a window into the life of a vibrant, active, inclusive and faith-filled community. As the pastor of St. Alexander, I have the great joy of witnessing the many ways our faith community prays together and takes an active role in being disciples of Christ in the local community. Regardless of whether you have been a member of St. Alexander for many years, you are new to our community or you are just stopping in for a visit, please know that you are welcome here. Take some time to explore the content of our website and learn more about St. Alexander Parish. We are always happy to see new faces, so if you would like to stop by and visit our parish, it would be a blessing for us to meet you in the offline world, as well as this online world. Please know that we actively offer up the prayer intentions that our parish visitors and also our website visitors hold in their hearts. May God continually bless you and your loved ones in your lives.

With prayers and blessings, Fr. Rosenbaum.

Eucharistic Revival Events for the Eastern DuPage Deanery

The National Eucharistic Revival is a three-year initiative sponsored by the Bishops of the United States. The Revival officially began in June 2022, and its milestone event will be a National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis from July 17-21, 2024. The National Eucharistic Revival and National Eucharistic Congress are a direct response to the Holy Father’s call for a “pastoral and missionary conversion which cannot leave things as they presently are” so that the Church in the United States might be “permanently in a state of mission” (Evangelii Gaudium, n. 25) To learn more, click the link below.
