A gala celebration dinner is planned for Friday, Oct. 3, at Randall Oaks Golf Club in West Dundee. The Most Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop, will officiate at the Oct. 5 celebration Mass. She will be joined by the Right Rev. Jeffrey Lee, Bishop of Chicago, and the Rev. Donald Frye, rector of St. James.

A festive reception will follow the service.
