Mission Statement

Our Lady of Knock is a community of Roman Catholic beleivers in Jesus Christ. As the Body of Christ, we proclaim His redeeming presence to all people with the help of the Holy Spirit. We are called to share the good news of Jesus by our Eucharistic worship, witness, and service in education, evangelization, peace, and justice. In a spirit of friendship and reconciliation, we welcome all people to celebrate God's love, to grow in their faith and share in the Kingdom of God.

About The Chruch


We are a very culturally rich and diverse community, united as one family Calumet City, Illinois, twenty minutes from downtown Chicago. Through the various organizations, ministries and programs of our school and church, we grow, learn, socialize and teach one another. Through our worship and celebrations as a faith community, we grow in the love of Jesus Christ.

Our Church has been and will be a guiding light as we enter into this new millennium. God has blessed us in countless ways, but especially through individuals and families that compose our parish. With the grace of God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the love of Christ may we journey together as a light of faith, hope and love for one another, our families and our communities.

The parishes in Calumet City, South Holland and Riverdale decided to close our individual schools that experienced declining enrollment and lower available subsidies and open a new school that we could jointly support. This joint venture would make it possible for Catholic Education to continue as a joint venture in the Southeast suburbs. The new school with 2 sites is Christ Our Savior Catholic School.
