We begin Holy Week with the Palm Sunday procession and enter into the mystery of the Passion. Just as Jesus journeyed to the cross, we continue that procession to experience this most holy week, culminating in the joy of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday.
- Palm Sunday services will be held at the regular times at St Edward’s Campus (8:30 am) and Christ Campus (10:30 am) with Rev. Bonney. (Zoom for 10:30 am service: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84474704894)

St. Edward and Christ is a Two Campus Parish
St. Edward Campus (SEC) located in central Joliet at 206 N. Midland Avenue was built in 1953. SEC is a traditional church setting and liturgies offered tend to be traditional. Holy Eucharist is held every Sunday at 8:30 am.
Christ Campus was purchased in 2008 to extend the Episcopal tradition into Kendall county. A former farm site, Christ Campus offers open spaces, the Great Barn, a pond, and a house where the people of God gather to worship and play. Worship services are offered in the renovated Barn known as The Worship Center. Holy Eucharist is held every Sunday at 10:30 am.
Children are invited to worship with their parents as members of the worshiping community. Communal worship is the primary means through which children are formed in the Christian faith. They learn from observing the religious practices, prayers, and attitudes of those who walk before them on their journey of faith.
Children receive Holy Communion at the request of their parents. Many toddlers receive their first communion when they are old enough to reach out their hand. Jesus said, “let the little children come to me.”
