Welcome to Saint John Paul II in Kankakee, Illinois!  We endeavor, by the grace of God, to be a healthy, happy and holy church.  We foster health by serving every aspect of the human person - physical, emotional, intellectual, social and most importantly, spiritual.  From our food pantry, our free clinic and exercise programs, and our Family Bridges for healthy relationships, to our spiritual programs, devotions and liturgies, we grow together in a healthy environment as people of God.  We are a happy church because of our welcoming spirit.  We believe that the Lord calls all people to be part of his Kingdom, and so we joyfully embrace everyone who walks through our doors, and endeavor to see the Lord in each person.  We are holy because the Lord Jesus is the heart of church, surrounded by the community of His saints, anchored upon the holy work of the apostles, and inspired by the holy example of our patron, St. John Paul II.
