The League of Mother Mary Theresa Dudzik, under the coordination of Sister Venantia Rec, was formed in 1962 to promote the Beatification Cause of Mother Mary Theresa. Membership in the League / Guild helps the Beatification Cause. Members are remembered daily in the prayers of the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago.
In commemoration of the centenary of Mother Mary Theresa Dudzik's birth -- August 30, 1960 -- it was decided that a Mass would be offered on the 20th of each month at the Motherhouse at 7:30 PM to pray for the Beatification of Mother Mary Theresa Dudzik. In July of 2004, the Mass was changed from the 20th of each month to the third Saturday of each month at 9:00 AM in the Sacred Heart Chapel at the Motherhouse in Lemont, Illinois. Please consider joining us for these Masses. If you cannot be with us, we ask that you take part spiritually by reciting the Beatification prayer privately on the 20th of each month.
A Novena of prayer and petition is offered every month from the 12th to the 20th for intentions through the intercession of Venerable Mother Mary Theresa Dudzik.
The Beatification Prayer and the Novena Prayer can be found on the Prayers page and at our online Gift Shop.
