Welcome to St. Francis de Sales Catholic Parish! Organized as a parish in 1949 by the Archdiocese of Chicago, St. Francis de Sales encompasses the communities of Lake Zurich, Deer Park, Hawthorn Woods, North Barrington, Kildeer and Long Grove. If you are new to the area or are returning to the practice of our Catholic faith, we welcome you to our parish.

We look forward to seeing you back in church!  

Please register @ stfrancislzparish.org and join us for our scheduled indoor Masses:

5 pm Saturday Vigil
6:30 am Sunday
9:00 am Sunday (also Live-streamed on St Francis de Sales Youtube and Facebook channels.  Visit our website above for links ) 

Tune into Comcast 4 and U-verse 99 for a rebroadcast of our Mass Sunday at 12:30 pm. 

We also offer a unique outdoor parking lot Mass.  No registration necessary!

11:15 am Sunday – West Parking Lot - behind the School/Church.  Remain in your parked car and participate as our priest celebrates  Mass from the altar on a raised truck platform.  Mass is broadcast to your car radio 89.9 FM.  You are able to receive Holy Communion as the Eucharist is brought  to each car.

Other weekday opportunities include:
Daily Mass:  Noon on Mon, Tue, Thur, & Fri.
School Mass at 1 pm on Wed. 
Communion Service:  8 am Tue and Thur. 

Prayer experiences including Parish Mission, Scripture study and healing services.  We continue to work on exciting new opportunities for you to stay connected to God and to each other. Please check our website frequently for current events.

We pray that as the number of those vaccinated increases over the next few months,  positivity and death rates in our state, which have been rising,  will significantly decrease.  These rates determine state and Archdiocesan mandated guidelines regarding safety protocol and capacity limits that we must follow.   We need to remain vigilant and continue to adhere to current public health and Archdiocesan guidelines including masking, distancing, capacity limits and hand sanitizing. 

We are at a critical tipping point in our fight against this virus.  If we stay the course for another few months, following the state and Archdiocese guidelines, we can really knock this virus back for the good of all.  And once we see a trend of significant decline in positivity rates,  we are hopeful and excited that the state and Archdiocese will safely expand capacity limits and ease other restrictions.  In the meantime, let’s love  our  neighbor as Jesus asks of us  and  continue to do our part to keep everyone safe.  

Keeping  our church safe for all, requires a huge volunteer commitment.  In order to keep our church doors open,  we need adequate help.   We have a very dedicated and joyful pool of volunteers, but we can always use more.  If you would like to ensure that we can continue to safely keep our church open and at  our capacity limit, please visit our website to sign up to volunteer.  

Thank you for your patience. 
We ask that you continue to pray for our parish,
Judy Reilly, Compliance Manager for St Francis de Sales and our Reopening Team

We are in need of people to help with greeting, ushering and cleaning at all our indoor daily Masses.  Please click for more information and to volunteer.
