News and Events

Annual Doughnut Dance: Saturday before Ash Wednesday

This is the annual event sponsored by the St. Andrew the Apostle Church. This pre-Lenten gala features polish food, a cash bar, doughnuts (naturally) and prominent Polka Bands from the region.

Mission Statement

The primary objective of St. Andrew the Apostle Church is to minister to the spiritual needs of all parishioners. Further, the Church has the avowed purpose to teach and otherwise follow the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church as promulgated from the Holy See in Rome under the direction of the Pope. While St. Andrew the Apostle Church was originally founded over 100 years ago by persons of Polish heritage, the parish today has a diverse ethnic and racial membership which has strengthened the parish as it moves into its second 100 years at the outset of the new millennium.  St. Andrew the Apostle is a community of faith in the rich fullness of the Roman Catholic tradition.

The History of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish

St. Andrew the Apostle Church is one of the oldest parishes in southeast Cook County. The Parish was established in 1892 and celebrated it's 100th Anniversary in 1992. Originally, the parish was comprised largely of persons of Polish ancestry, but through the years the parish has evolved to include families of diverse ethic backgrounds. The parish has, however, still preserved some of the rich Polish traditions, which has enabled the parish to flourish over the past 100+ years.

St. Andrew the Apostle Parish subscribes to the Roman Catholic Doctrine in all items tangent to the Parish church and the Parish school. Over the past 110 years, St. Andrew the Apostle Church has had ten pastors. The current Pastor is Fr. Martin E. Michniewicz.
