Contact Julia McMillan at mcmillan013@gmail.com for questions or project suggestions.
The Sacrament of Holy Baptism
If you are interested in the sacrament of Holy Baptism for yourself or your child, please reach out to the church office at 773-624-3185 or the interim rector, the Rev. Wes Smedley at smedley@sprchicago.org. Baptism marks that you are part of God’s family forever. It connects you with a Christian community and requires our promise to follow Jesus, with the support of God and your church community—a way of life we call “Christian discipleship.” Here are the current dates for Holy Baptism, at either 8:00am or 10:00am:
November 2, 2025 – All Saints Sunday
January 11, 2026 – The Baptism of the Lord
February 15, 2026 – The Last Sunday after the Epiphany
