The merger of Queen of Angels Parish and our neighbors at St. Matthias Parish will take place on August 1. Monsignor Jim Kaczorowski has been appointed to be the Pastor for the new parish to be formed from the union of Queen of Angels and St. Matthias parishes. Temporarily, the new parish will be known as Queen of Angels and St. Matthias Parish until we can hold a process to name the new parish.
At the last in-person meeting we had for Renew My Church before all buildings closed down, it was agreed that one of the important steps in joining the two parishes is for parishioners involved in similar ministries to get to know each other. Though this work is made more difficult by the pandemic and social distancing requirements, phone calls and video conferencing can make it possible to take some first steps. Leaders of parish groups at Queen of Angels who would like to be in touch with their counterparts at St. Matthias are asked to contact the parish office at 773-539-7510 or parish@queenofangelschicago.org. Not all groups will have a current one-to-one correspondence, but we will do our best to match ministries together
