Refurbishment of St. Hedwig’s Sanctuary is nearing completion, and the church is expected to reopen by December 20, 2025. If final inspections require more time, all Masses will be relocated to Quinn Hall to ensure uninterrupted worship. Updates will be posted on www.sainthedwig.org.

CHRISTMAS DAY DINNER – TEMPORARY PAUSE
Due to construction-related limitations, the long-standing Christmas Day Dinner will pause this year. Saint Hedwig looks forward to restoring this meaningful tradition in 2026. Updates and future announcements will be shared at www.sainthedwig.org.

“Even in a year of transitions, the heart of Saint Hedwig’s Christmas celebration remains strong,” said church leadership. “Our festive events, beautiful music, and Christmas Masses reflect the joy of Christ’s birth and our deep sense of community. We look forward to welcoming everyone into our renewed worship space.”
