St. Thomas of Villanova High School Catholic Youth Group

UPDATED 07/01/09

   You’ve reached the official website for Voices, located in Palatine, Illinois - an associate parish of the Archdiocese of Chicago.  My name is Jeff Walczynski (but please, call me SKI) and I’m the Director of Youth Ministry.  Come on in and explore the many things that make Voices the awesome youth group it is, and don't forget to visit our Upcoming Events page to see what you can take part in.
