Kirkin of the Tartans

Save the date of Oct 28, 2018. Plans are afoot for a fall Kirkin of the Tartans.  There will be a “Procession of the Tartans” where parishioners march into the sanctuary with their tartans held high on a pole.  If you are of Scottish heritage and have a tartan you will surely want to participate.  There’s a tartan for those not of Scottish heritage too!  Contact Emily Schmitz-Herndon (soon, please, due to planning & time constraints) at 630 544-9293 for more information.
