Episcopal Church of Saint Elizabeth and Santa Teresa de Avila The Episcopal Diocese of Chicago Our service time is 9am for Mass in English. At the present time, the mass is a said mass. However, creativity is welcomed from the community for those wishing to provide a joyful noise and praise God musically. During Holy Week, we walk the journey of our Lord with Bilingual services. The combination of the variety of cultures enhances the true meaning of the church as one - with the true foundation of Christ our Lord. We are proud of our semi-annual Penny Social. This has always been an event for both our church and community. All are welcomed to participate in the festivities which occur around April and September. Watch the local newspapers and billboards for more information. At the present time, our Spanish language mass is at 4pm. Music is played through a synthesizer with traditional Hispanic music from the Roman Catholic tradition. Watch this place for any changes in times of the masses. We are proud to be able to celebrate the many cultural rites of passage and Sacraments of the church - from Baptisms through Quinceaneras. As prescribed by the Catechism of the Episcopal Church, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism is celebrated 4 times a year in the midst of the Holy Eucharists of the Easter Vigil, the Sunday of Pentecost, the Sunday following All Saints Day, and the Sunday of the Baptism of our Lord in January. Bautismos, Presentaciones, primera comuniones, confirmaciones, and quinceaneras all require classes as well as membership at Santa Teresa. Please see the priest for more details.
