About Us
WELCOME TO JP 2!
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.
St. John Paul II Parish: "Bringing Jesus to everyone and everyone to Jesus "
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
