Upcoming Masses
July 2020
As our families, neighborhoods, city, and state continue to take seriously the COVID-19 crisis, Old St. Pat’s is continuing to explore how we can best serve our members and the people of our city. In order to continue to prioritize the safety and health of our people, we will continue to host a 10 a.m. Livestream Mass with dynamic worship, music, and preaching, as we know this continues to be a gift to so many of us during this pandemic.
This Sunday, we will gather together as a community again with an 8 am Sunday Mass celebrated safely, joyfully, and with prayerful instrumental music. Additionally, we are opening up our 10 am Livestream liturgy as of July 12. To assure we can follow the physical distancing and safety guidelines, we will be able to accommodate 50 people for each liturgy. Reservations for 8 am Mass on July 12 will open at 10 am on Wednesday, July 8 on our homepage at oldstpats.org. Please continue to visit our website for updates. If you are not signed up for our e-newsletters, click here.
And while we long to all be together once again, we lovingly encourage anyone who is 70 or older, or with medical conditions, to not attend Mass at this time. Cardinal Cupich is continuing the suspension of obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.
For those who desire to reserve spots for 8 a.m. or 10 a.m. Mass:
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we honor both our longing for the Eucharist and our responsibility to keep our members, volunteers, and clergy safe and healthy.

For those who desire to reserve spots for 8 a.m. or 10 a.m. Mass:
- Fill out the Mass Registration form mentioned above which goes live at 10 a.m. on Wednesday mornings, and when reservations fill up, we will begin a “waiting list” (instructions will be given on the form).
- Attendees will be asked to arrive no earlier than 7:40 a.m.
- All members of the assembly will be required to wear face coverings for the entirety of the liturgy.
- Please note that all individuals will be seated with at least 6 feet between people who do not live in the same household.
- The music will be instrumental and contemplative, as congregational singing is still not recommended, due to the increased risk of spreading the virus.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we honor both our longing for the Eucharist and our responsibility to keep our members, volunteers, and clergy safe and healthy.
