Staffed by the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius  |  Serving the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois

On January 1, 2001, Bishop George J. Lucas issued a decree uniting two parishes, Sacred Heart and St. Patrick, under the patronage of St. Katharine Drexel.

 

Today, St. Katharine Drexel Parish is the most liturgically diverse parish in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois.  We offer the Ordinary Form of the Mass in both English and Spanish. St. Katharine Drexel is also Springfield's "Home of the Latin Mass," otherwise known as the Extraordinary Form of the Mass.​

 

Also included in the daily liturgical schedule at St. Katharine Drexel Parish is the Liturgy of the Hours, led by the Canons Regular of  St. Cantius.

​

The priests and brothers of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius serve in parishes and help Catholics to rediscover a profound sense of the Sacred through solemn liturgies, devotions, sacred art and music, as well as instruction in the heritage of the Church, catechetics and Catholic culture.
