"Though God hates sin more than any other thing, He loves us poor miserable sinners. He ardently desires the welfare of our souls as if His own happiness depended on it.” -- St. John Neumann whose feast day we celebrate today.

Beautiful sunset on this All Souls Evening. “And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.” John 6:39

The parish community at @mbvmchurch worked hard to create a special, safer Halloween experience for their young people with an epic Trunk-or-Treat day. Check out this careful and thoughtful event that's #RaisingCommunities. https://t.co/8eainkXFyC

Is God inviting you to be a Viatorian? If you are drawn to service of the people of God through Sacraments, prayer, and liturgical ministries, join us in serving the holy altar. #AdoredAndLovedBeJesus #Vocations

We haven’t changed the schedule @mbvmchurch bells. We’re still calling people to prayer in a time of pandemic.

[Maternity BVM Church @mbvmchurch]

Our Church’s bell schedule will change . Though this is for @archchicago .. a couple of parishioners asked if we could be a part. If Fr. @jasoncsv programmed it correctly, Bells should ring at 9, 12, 3, 6, 9. Follow link below for more info.

When the Catholic community in Bourbonnais Grove, IL was falling apart, the French-Canadian clergy turned to the Viatorians. 3 were sent, and their arrival stabilized and strengthened the Church here. Swipe through to read more. #CSVOriginStories #AdoredAndLovedBeJesus

.@mbvmchurch welcomed new members to the faith. Despite the wait and all the restrictions, it was a moment of joy. Read how @jasoncsv described it: #AdoredAndLovedBeJesus #RaisingCommunities

To say ‘all lives matter’ understates the case. God values all life that He sent his only Son that we may not perish but have eternal life. Your life is worth dying for, and Jesus willingly did it. He did it for the unborn and people of every race in every time and place.

[Viatorians @ViatorianUSA]

In 1865, @mbvmchurch + its school needed new leadership. The bishop invited the Viatorians, who had a strong record of raising vibrant communities and teaching the faith well, laying the groundwork for our presence in the US.

Church is not closed. It’s just we couldn’t gather in the building. Gradually, even that will reopen in phases. We were never closed, but the mission of bringing the light and love of Christ to all continues to be carried out.

[Viatorians @ViatorianUSA]

Here's one tradition that has survived the pandemic: a May crowning. @jasoncsv, pastor of @mbvmchurch in Bourbonnais, led prayers in front of this statue of Mary that is steeped in history:
