| Dedication of the Chapel of St. John at St. Pascal Baylon December 1, 2013 |
| When the Church of St. John of St. Paul was merged with St. Pascal Baylon, the pastor and people of St. Pascal's promised to dedicate their chapel in honor of St. John's. The formal dedication ceremony was held on Sunday, December 1, 2013. Photos by Greg Cosimini |

| The Chapel of St. John is located just inside the main entrance to St. Pascal's on the right hand side. The previously unnamed chapel space is mostly used for keeping vigil with the bodies of deceased parishioners before and after their funeral masses. |

| The statue of St. John the Evangelist is now located in the Chapel of St. John at St. Pascal Baylon Church. It had stood since 1922 on the high altar at the Church of St. John of St. Paul. The statue was created by the Daprato Statuary Co. of Chicago and has been restored by Ms. Maureen Peterson, St. Pascal's art teacher. |
