St. Mary's Parish Mission
September 27-October 1, 2009
              Meet Our Mission Team Leader:
             Rev. Peter Schavitz, C.Ss.R.

             Hometown: Chicago
             Professed as a Redemptorist: 1970
             Ordained to the Priesthood: 1976



Fr. Pete has wide and varied apostolic experiences: youth, adult,
couple, divorced, and nuns' retreats; seminary professor;
vocation ministry; parish ministry; provincial administration; and
involvement in several radio and video projects.  He began
preaching parish missions in 1985 and is nearing 300 parish
missions.  As a native Chicagoan his greatest weakness is the fact
that he is a die-hard Cub, Bear, Bull and Blackhawk fan.  Pray
that he may recover from this infirmity!
