Welcome to St. Adalbert Parish
We are celebrating over 125 years of service to the community of Elmhurst. There is always something happening at our Franciscan Parish. We are a diverse and vibrant community with a variety of ministries, parish groups from preschool to senior adults and an excellent Catholic Academy. You are invited to join us. Let’s be a church together rather than just a people who go to church.
