Welcome to Our Lady of Peace.
Our Lady of Peace mourns our beloved Deacon Joe Bucci who recently passed away (5/23/25). Please keep Joe and his family in your prayers.
Deacon Joe served at OLP for over 10 years and spent countless hours with shut-ins at hospitals and nursing homes. He went out of his way to find people who had fallen through the cracks, those without faith connections, and ministered to them in a caring way.
He was a great advocate for the families of our Hispanic community and enjoyed recruiting and training our Altar Servers. He will be forever missed.

The Singing Priests at OLP.
Kicking off the Memorial Day Weekend, 12 of our very talented Singing Priests did not disappoint the almost 300 fans who braved the rainy evening to come out and enjoy an amazing concert! My Sweet Lord, Puff the Magic Dragon, Irish ballads and hymns all mixed in with a bit of humor, entertained the enthusiastic crowd.
We know our priests wear many hats, and they proved it with several "costume changes" that included cowboy hats and White Sox baseball caps as a nod to Pope Leo XIV! To the delight of the audience, at times they encouraged audience participation!
A big thank-you goes out to the Singing Priests, Real-to-Reel, and all those who parked cars, greeted guests, and attended the show to make this such a wonderful event! Didn't make the show? We will post the date that Real-to-Reel will air the show!

Important Message.
If you missed Father's homily on February 16th about the mass deportation of immigrants, please read it here. It has an important message about what is happening in the United States with the immigrants and the mass deportations taking place.
Pope Francis recently sent a strongly worded letter to the Catholic bishops of the United States in which he denounced the mass deportation of migrants…
"The journey from slavery to freedom that the People of Israel traveled, as narrated in the Book of Exodus, invites us to look at the reality of our time, so clearly marked by the phenomenon of migration, as a decisive moment in history to reaffirm not only our faith in a God who is always close, incarnate, migrant and refugee, but also the infinite and transcendent dignity of every human person." [1]
The letter also stated that the Pope disagrees with identifying the illegal status of migrants with criminality, and called on the bishops to “walk together” and defend the human dignity of the migrants in their country.
Please remember that the surest way that others will know we are Christians is by our love.
2025 - It's a Jubilee Year!
The Holy Father has announced 2025 as a Jubilee Year, a sacred time of renewal, reflection, and grace which happens every 25 years.
The theme for Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope,” and it will be a year of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis. Worldwide events will take place this year including pilgrimages to Rome.
Locally, Our Lady of Peace, along with the Diocese of Springfield, will have a full calendar of events to celebrate this Jubilee and be the hope and change our community needs!
The Jubilee will last until January 6, 2026.
