St. Scholastica Parish History
In June of 1962, Father John Kloepfer was assigned by the Diocese of Joliet to serve as pastor of St. Scholastica, a newly established parish in the fast growing suburb of Woodridge. Father John and a core group of dedicated parishioners worked tirelessly to build a faith community and make plans for worship space and a school. The first Sunday and Holy Day Masses were held in the Woodridge School gymnasium, which was transformed into a place of worship for Mass each Sunday. After the second liturgy, the chairs would be turned for the congregation of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, also in the beginning stages of formation. After their service, the Lutherans would flip the chairs toward the altar for their Catholic neighbor’s final Mass of the day.
The Benedictine Sisters of Lisle established a parish school in two rented houses on Janes Avenue. Grades one through three started the fall semester of 1962 with used desks Father John was able to secure from the Chicago Public School system.
Through the willingness of many to share their time, talent and treasure, the necessary financial support to build a church and school became a reality. The present school was built with a multipurpose school gym to serve as a temporary church. The first Mass was celebrated in the new building on Christmas Eve,1964. The original 120 families continued to welcome new members as the surrounding land was developed. The current church was completed in 1980 and with a burgeoning congregation, was enlarged to its present size and rededicated in 1990.
On Father’s Day, 2021, the rectory and garage, as well as many surrounding homes, were severely damaged by a devastating tornado. After 11 months, the priests were finally able to return to live in the rectory.
On July 1, 2024 Father Mark Cote became the ninth Pastor of St. Scholastica Parish.
Today St. Scholastica serves just under 1700 families. Nearly 200 children attend the parish school and over 250 children attending area public schools are served by the Religious Education Program. St. Scholastica is an energetic community with a strong faith life.
