St. John Gualbert Parish strives to be a faith community rooted in Christ, living out our Baptismal call to proclaim God's Word, celebrating Christ's presence among us, and reaching out to all God's People in lives of service through the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.

Our faith community pursues this mission through prayer, meaningful liturgy celebrated in accordance with the rubrics of the Roman Rite, teaching the true and unadulterated faith, practicing Catholic and Polish traditions, and social outreach.

The year 2007 marked the 90th anniversary of the existence of St. John Gualbert Parish.  It is an occasion of great joy and gratitude as our parish celebrates a milestone in the story of a beautiful faith community that has graced this corner of the world at Gualbert and Doat Streets since June 3, 1917.

Holy Week Choir

We are in need of supplemental voices in the choir for Holy Week Services, which include Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and the Resurrection Mass.  First rehearsal is Wednesday, March 10 at 7 p.m. in the church choir loft.  If no one shows up we won’t be able to have a choir for Holy Week.


Lenten Journey Mass

Churches from our area are visiting neighboring parishes for a “Lenten Journey” Mass.  Our parish will be hosting a Lenten Journey Mass on Monday, February 22 at 7 p.m.  This is our opportunity to show off our beautiful church and parish buildings as we welcome guests from other parishes in our area of the city.  I hope that you will consider attending some of these Masses, especially the one in our parish as we offer hospitality to our friends and guests.  A simple reception follows each Mass to which all are invited.  The Masses begin at 7 p.m. on Mondays and the schedule is as follows:

March 8 – St. Lawrence

March 15 – Sts. Columba & Brigid

March 22 – St. Martin de Porres

March 29 – St. Lawrence

New Mass Translations

The U.S. Bishops’ Committee for Divine Worship has posted on its web site the new edition of the priest’s and people’s prayers at Mass.  The site, www.usccb.org/romanmissal, includes background material on the process of development of liturgical texts, sample texts from the Missal, a glossary of terms and answers to frequently asked questions.  The new translation is offered with the hope Catholics will prepare themselves for the time the new translation goes into effect.  Bishop Arthur Serratelli of Paterson, N.J. and chairman of the Committee on Divine Worship, in a welcome-to-the-site video states, “In the years since Vatican II we have learned a lot about the use of the vernacular in the liturgy and the new texts reflect his new understanding.  The new texts are understandable, dignified, and accurate.  They not only strive to make the meaning of the text accessible for the listener, but they also strive to unearth the biblical and theological richness of the Latin text.”
