Join us for our Scout Sunday Mass and Pancake Brunch on Sunday, February 14, at 9:30 a.m.
St. Helena's is a small, supportive
Christian community that reaches out to the aged, the hungry, and the homebound. We also sponsor
all levels of Scouts. We are located on five serene acres
in Burr Ridge, IL, near the intersection
of I-55 and I-294.
Feel free to wander our grounds, walk our
labyrinth,
see the new Vacant to Vegetables garden that provides fresh produce to
area food banks, and leave a few cans of food for the needy in our drop-box. If
the spirit moves you, join us for
Sunday Mass
at 9:30 a.m. Our worship features lively music and draws from
both Catholic and Protestant traditions. On Wednesdays, we also offer Morning Prayer at
9 a.m. and Mass at 6 p.m.
St. Helena's is a parish of the
Episcopal Church
in the
Diocese of
Chicago, part of the worldwide
Anglican Communion. But we do not let denominational boundaries
restrict our mission and ministry. Our companion parish in the area is
St. James Lutheran
Church in Western Springs - a
congregation of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Episcopal Church's full
communion partner.
Our people include a variety of
ethnic backgrounds and political perspectives. Our lay
leadership is strong. We
work collaboratively as a "total ministry" community where God's calling
to each is recognized and God's gift to all is used to benefit the world
and the Church.
We welcome you regardless of who
you are or where you find yourself on your faith journey. Our main
objectives are to know and love God and to serve and feed the needy. One can belong
at St. Helena's before one believes.
