As we move forward with the merger of St. Patrick Church and St. Monica Church, our bulletins will also merge. We are working to revamp our Mary, Mother of God Parish bulletin so that it is streamlined and serves all of our parishioners effectively.

With that in mind, we would like to update our bulletin prayer list.  We understand that some names have been included for many years, and we deeply value the prayerful support they have received from our community.  However, our list is outdated.  If you would like to keep your name on the bulletin prayer list,  please contact us at 309-444-3524 by June 30, 2025.  

We remain committed to holding each person in prayer and ensuring our prayer list continues to be a meaningful part of our community’s support.

Thank you for your understanding as we make this transition.
