St. Viator Elementary School and Parish, Chicago, Illinois

Today's smiles are courtesy of our own Mr. Slawik. It would be impossible to describe his 30+ years at St. Viator in a single post, so we'll let these smiles paint the picture. Taking this opportunity to once again wish him well in retirement - all the best, Mr. Slawik! And thank you!

Our prayers go out to the friends and family of Fr. Larry Lentz, CSV, and to his Viatorian brethren. If you were around St. Viator Elementary School and Parish, Chicago, Illinois during the late 80's and early 90's, you knew "Father Larry" as an associate pastor and then pastor. He led many of our parishioners to the ministries that they continue today, and he celebrated many notable events with our community. Rest in peace, Father Larry.

It is with sadness that we share the passing of Fr. Larry Lentz, C.S.V., former Saint Viator High School faculty member and president.

Fr. Lentz began his ministry at Saint Viator in 1969, serving in both the English and Religion Departments before being named president, a role he held from 1984–1986. Throughout his years at Saint Viator, he made a lasting impact on generations of students, many of whom remember him for the personal interest he took in their success and his willingness to go out of his way to help them reach their potential.

Following his time at Saint Viator, Fr. Lentz continued his ministry in parishes throughout the Viatorians community, including St. Viator Parish in Chicago, Maternity BVM Parish in Bourbonnais, and Viatorian parishes in Las Vegas. He also served as Assistant Provincial from 2013–2017.

We give thanks for Fr. Lentz's years of faithful service, leadership, and dedication to Catholic education and the Viatorian mission. Please join us in praying for the repose of his soul and for all who mourn his passing.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Enrollment is extended into the summer! We have seats available in select classes, from 3-year-old preschool to 8th grade. Connect with St. Viator School today!

The Kindergarten Class recited prayers and songs for their families, showing they are ready to move up to First Grade! In August, they head to the second floor to join the Primary Grades. Their smiles are the best proof of their readiness.
St. Viator Smiles.
Happy Monday.
