About this church

St. Gertrude Catholic Parish in Franklin Park celebrates Mass in three languages each weekend: Saturday at 5 p.m. in English, Sunday at 9 a.m. in English, Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in Polish, and Sunday at 12 p.m. in Spanish. Weekday Masses are Monday and Tuesday at 7 p.m. and Wednesday through Saturday at 8 a.m., in English. Confessions are heard on Thursday evenings, Saturday afternoons, and before Sunday Masses, with weekday confession by appointment. Eucharistic adoration takes place on Mondays and Thursdays, and on the first Friday of the month a Polish-language Mass is followed by overnight adoration in the convent chapel.

The parish site lists sacramental preparation for baptism, confirmation, first Communion, reconciliation, anointing of the sick, and marriage, along with religious education, post-confirmation, and summer camps for young people. Liturgical ministries include lectors, ushers, music, and ministers of Holy Communion, and service ministries cover care for the sick, bereavement, and funerals. Groups reflect the parish's mix of languages and include Alpha, a charismatic renewal group, the Neocatechumenal Way, Cursillo, a Polish prayer group, and a Guadalupe committee.
