It sounds like you are watching the forbidden mass (which is behind the locked church door) online. I don't watch any of those and I can't decide for everyone who comes to the Rosary. Please come to the Rosary, at least for the end of it and if everyone there agrees to move the time, then I will try to figure out how to change it on St. Borromeo site, if at all possible.
My wife receives Ss. Peter & Paul emails. They offer only 4 massed during the weekend, there is no 7 PM Saturday mass at all. We did not get any spot in the advertised masses, so we will pray our usual Lockdown Rosary in front of Ss. Peter & Paul in Naperville this Sunday June 7 at 10 AM.
I just wrote a comment and then deleted it because I agree with the longer post that another wrote in response. However, after I deleted mine, it deleted the reply from the other before I got to really finish reading it. Could you please re send it if you could? I am so sorry! However, I think you had some important information to share that I should take heed of. Thank you!
Thanks, I think it was probably wise to delete that. I'll repost a modified version of my response to your post, which was concerned with trying to fight against the reopening plan of the Illinois Bishops.
We all need to be mindful that in some areas, there are other Catholic rites that have different Bishops who are allowing different regulations. Unfortunately Cupich has an inordinate amount of influence and may very well seek to quash whatever is happening in these other churches if it doesn't match his ridiculous limitations. So if you decide to write to your Bishop to make your voice heard about the ridiculousness of the Reopening Plan, please avoid making comparisons. This could have unintended consequences.
I agree with you that Cardinal Cupich's plan (which he imposed on all the Illinois bishops) is in every way unacceptable. Right after it was first released, we denounced it both in the media and by marching to the diocesan offices to deliver a formal letter of rejection. However, just like it was with the shutdowns, Cupich has no interest in listening to the faithful or meeting their needs, and Pates has shown that he will do whatever causes him the least pain, which usually seems to mean doing whatever Cupich says.
So...I do recommend that we keep pressuring Pates as much as possible. Let's flood his office with respectful letters that propose more sensible regulations!
I know...it's so disheartening, isn't it? Anyway your letter was to Pates, not Cupich. There are enough "other catholic churches in communion with Rome" that he probably won't take any time to try to ferret out which one you mean. :)
God bless you for taking the initiative to write to him. That is the important thing!
Hurrah! Thank you for sharing this photo!!! God bless you and Happy Mother's Day!
Can we move it to 10:15/10:30? The mass is at 9 and it was challenging to get to the church by 10 last Sunday. God bless.

Thanks to all who participated despite the rain today!
I will be there tomorrow with my 8 year old daughter. Thank you so much for organizing!
Attempt at live video from today's event (the signal is not the greatest there, apparently, we need to record it non-live next time) https://www.facebook.com/vladimir.sliva.3/videos/3221827281170389/
So glad to be there praying! Hopefully we don't have to do this too much longer!!!
Church web page still says they are waiting for permission (which everyone knows they do not need). Here are some pictures and video from our Rosary May 31: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3240677599285357&type=3
Saint Joseph in Rockdale is open this weekend. Novus Ordo on Saturday evening. Latin mass on Sunday, 8 and 10. Reservations required, call the parish.
Sign up went out at 4:50 this afternoon. My family and I couldnt get in because of the limit on number of people
A 7 pm Saturday night Latin mass has been added. Saints Peter & Paul sent its email about reopening and reservations.

The 7 pm Saturday mass is at St Joseph
I will be praying Rosary there again on Sunday June 14 at 10 AM. Here are pics and videos from yesterday's 9th Restricted Church Rosary: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3259532144066569&type=3

" The Plan" is a BAD PLAN!
There have been several communications, all of them weird. When you say "The Plan" - is it on a web-link and if so, which one?
Yes the plan of the diocese with the phases, is , to say the least, disturbing.

Ok, I did compare it... but I said, " another catholic church in communion with rome" not any specific church..or location... yuck..
I forget that I'm dealing with the wolves...
