Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of universal fast and abstinence. Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence. Fasting is obligatory for all who have completed their 18th year and have not yet reached their 60th year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence (from meat) is obligatory for all who have reached their 14th year.

Join us for our Easter Egg Hunt on Holy Saturday, following the Easter Basket Blessing at noon. At noon, there will be the opportunity to share in the tradition of bringing a basket filled with food for your Easter dinner to be blessed. Then, starting at 12:15, outside the Settles Center, children in the community will search for thousands of Easter eggs. Children will also be able to have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny. In the case of inclement weather, the hunt would take place in the Settles Center.

Luego, a las 12:15pm, por el Settles Center (el gimnasio), los niños de la comunidad buscarán miles de huevos de Pascua. Los niños también podrán tomar fotos con el Conejo de Pascua. En caso de lluvia, la búsqueda se estaría en el Settles Center (el gimnasio).

Welcome to the Parish of Saint John Paul II in Kankakee, Illinois! Established on July 1, 2017, and built upon the legacy of the parishes of St. Rose, St. Teresa, and St. Martin of Tours, our mission, by the grace of God, is to bring Christ to everyone and everyone to Christ. From our celebration of the sacraments, Masses, liturgies, and devotions to our faith formation program, food pantry, free medical clinic, clothing closet, and other ministries and apostolates, we endeavor to respond to our Lord's call to build up His Kingdom and form a community that joyfully proclaims the Good News. Jesus Christ is at the heart of our parish, Surrounded by the Blessed Mother and the communion of saints, and inspired by the holy example of our patron, Saint John Paul II, we strive to be a holy and joyful family in faith.
We deeply value relationships. We love, serve, and care for one another and those whom God has placed around us in hopes that the community will see Jesus in us, hear us speak of Him often, and be drawn to Him. By welcoming you to our church, we are welcoming you into our lives.
We pray that our church will be a place where you experience the love and grace of God, ask questions, grow in holiness, and find your place in God’s story.
We hope you will join us at a weekend Mass or in a community group. We would love to meet you or talk with you soon
