The Archdiocesan appointment of our Administrator, Fr. Tim Fairman

Meet Fr. Tim Fairman, our newly appointed administrator.

Effective immediately, Cardinal Blase Cupich has appointed Fr. Tim Fairman as the temporary Administrator of St. Matthew & St. Hubert Parish He will continue in his role as Pastor of St. Theresa Parish in Palatine. Fr. Tim will be meeting this week with our Vicar, Bishop Kevin Birmingham, who will highlight with Fr. Tim what he would ask of him in his role as Administrator. Please continue to pray for the repose of the soul of Fr. Mike Scherschel, and for Fr. Matt and the people of St. Matthew & St Hubert Parish. Please also be patient when making requests of Fr. Tim and Fr. Matt as they will be discerning how best to serve the needs of the parish during this challenging  time for everyone.

In the Catholic Church, it's an abbreviation for "Saints." There are two capital "S"-es: one for St. Matthew and one for St. Hubert. With a double "S" at the beginning of the title, the word "Saint" doesn't have to be repeated twice. It may take some getting used to, that’s for sure, but the two “S”-es side by side is also a way to show we’re together.
