125th Anniversary Mass & GalaSaturday, November 2, 2024
Celebrate our 125th Anniversary with us on Saturday, November 2!
Please join us for a celebratory Mass offered by Bishop Mark Bartosic, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, at 4:30pm in our beautiful and historic church. Priests who have either served at St. Edward or grew up in our parish are invited to con-celebrate. No tickets or reservations are needed to attend Holy Mass.
Following Mass, we will move to the Irish American Heritage Center for a special Gala Dinner that will start with cocktails at 6:00pm and dinner at 7:00pm. A DJ will be there for dancing and celebrating after dinner.
Purchase Tickets for the Dinner here:- Single Tickets sold for $125.00 each
- Reserved Table for 10 sold for $1,250.00 each (simply purchase tickets in a multiple of 10, and you and your guests will automatically have one entire table reserved for each batch of 10 tickets purchased)
- Purchase a ticket for a Priest, Springfield Dominican Sister, or Seminarian! We've invited priests and sisters who served at St. Edward to join us and we'd love to offer them a "free" ticket. Can you help us by purchasing a ticket for them? You can leave a comment at your online purchase if it's for a specific priest or sister, and we'll make sure they're sitting at your table. We will distribute any non-specified donations evenly amongst any non-named clergy and religious. Buy them their ticket here!
*All checks can be made payable to St. Edward Parish* -
