===== Welcome Sarah
Welcome Sarah!
We are excited to share that we have a new Bulletin and Social Media Editor. Please help me welcome Sarah Jakubek to our parish staff. Transfiguration has been a part of Sarah’s life since she was a baby. She is a proud member of the first graduating class of Frassati Catholic Academy and completed all of her education through Transfiguration. She is honored to give back by serving in this new role!
If you are part of a ministry, please send any bulletin submissions to bulletin@transfigurationwauconda.com . Be sure to check your inbox soon for a more detailed message from Sarah!

===== 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal
Our parish is conducting our campaign for the Annual Catholic Appeal. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable in installments. The new Annual Catholic Appeal theme, “Together at the table,” is an important theme as we prayerfully consider our support for the Appeal but also important for embracing the life that the Lord wants us to live.
Each pledge makes a difference! All parish communities participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our parishes, schools and ministries to deliver needed services. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response.
To make your gift, you can complete the mail-in giving envelope available at church or make a gift online at

“As you go, make this proclamation:
‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
-Matthew 10:7
Many of us take our lives for granted. We think we have plenty of time to “repent.” Maybe we should live with a little more urgency in making things right with God. This is the difference in living our discipleship out of obligation versus out of love.
Obligation implies we do the minimum required. Love implies we want a relationship. God wants us to be with Him in Heaven forever, but He also wants to be in relationship with us right now, while we are on earth. Start this second – invite the Lord into your heart.
