A WORD FROM OUR NEW ADMINISTRATOR, REV. BART WINTERS!

Posted on October 5, 2019 by Published by

Dear People of Our Lady of the Wayside,

Last weekend St. Alphonsus Parish in Chicago celebrated Oktoberfest.  A young man at the event approached me and  aid, “I heard that you’ve been assigned to Our Lady of the Wayside.” When I acknowledged that, he continued, “I was born and raised there. It is a great parish. You will love it.” I was grateful for his warm encouragement.

By way of introduction, I was ordained a priest in 1983 and have served in a variety of assignments: associate pastor at St. Nicholas in Evanston, faculty member at Mundelein Seminary, pastor of St. Gregory the Great and, most recently, associate pastor at St. Alphonsus.  I also served at two Catholic nonprofits: Alexian Brothers Bonaventure House and Marillac St. Vincent Family Services.

I am grateful to Cardinal Cupich for appointing me administrator here at Our Lady of the Wayside and I look forward to getting to know you and becoming part of this community. I trust that the young man at Oktoberfest was correct and that I will love it here!

Sincerely,
Rev. Bart Winters
