Congratulations to Our First Communion Class of 2019

On Saturday, May 11, children from St. Gertrude made their First Communion. It was a wonderful day filled with happiness and excitement despite the rain and cold.


We thank the parents and families for their unconditional love and support; Father Rich for presiding over the Mass; Emily Davis, Tracy Shields, Ewa Jablonska, and Hillary Foster for their kind instruction and formation; Mary Clare Barker and Kristina Vragovic for the beautiful music; Gail Smith and Sarah Buntin for leading the celebration; Kristen Catuara and the other third grade families that coordinated the cupcake celebration after the Mass; and the parishioners of St. Gertrude for their encouragement and prayers.

Combined Summer Mass Schedule

Combined 10:30 am Mass held from June 23 to August 11

As mentioned last fall, this year we will be experimenting with a summer combined Mass schedule. Summer is generally a time of vacation for many of our parish families, and many of our helper priests are Jesuits from Loyola and following an academic schedule.


From June 23 to August 11, our Mass schedule be will be:

  • Saturday: 5:00 pm 
  • Sunday: 8:00 am
  • Sunday: 9:30 am – Sheridan Road
  • Sunday: 10:30 am – Combined Mass


The 10:30 am Combined Mass will be in lieu of the 10:00 am and 11:30 am Masses. The 10:30 am Gym Mass will be on its annual summer hiatus which runs from the Sunday after Father’s Day to the Sunday after Labor Day.
