Garden MinistryDo you have a green thumb? Join our generous parishioners who donate their time and talent to caring for our campus grounds.
We have split the camps into small groups, so no one takes care of everything. Please reach out to Fr. Dom if you would like to join this ministry and he will introduce you to other members so you can find a group that works best with your schedule.

Uncle Pete's Ministry
Uncle Pete's Ministry is an oganization that collects the 300 lunches and then distributes them on Monday to various food depositories and pantries in and around Chicago. This monthly volunteer-led group assists in lunch packing for them. We meet after the 9:30 Mass (approximately 10:30) in Unity Hall and get to work decorating the bags, preparing the food items, making sandwiches, and then filling the bags.

Hospitality LeadersEvery month on the third Sunday, we offer hospitality after all morning Masses (8:00, 9:30, and 11 am). Different groups and ministries take turns hosting these Hospitality Sundays and everyone who attends Mass is invited down for treats and drinks. These are great opportunities for members of the parish to get to know each other and build community. Sign up here to volunteer with us here.

Salt & LightJoin your fellow St. Edward parishioners as we let our light shine before others! These quarterly events will take place on a Saturday in the months of July, October, January, and April, and will consist of a service project, allowing us the opportunity to live our faith through the sharing of our time and talent. They will conclude with a social event celebrating those bonds that unite as a community.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that[b] they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
