ICSJ Photography Team


Help us tell our story!
Now forming: the ICSJ Photography Team

Neighbors unloading groceries at the food drive. Friends lingering over coffee and donuts after Mass. A crowd celebrating at Taco Fiesta. These moments capture the essence of our Family of Families. We're putting together a small team of volunteer photographers to help capture parish life for our bulletin, website and social media.

We're looking for people who:

  • Have a natural eye for candid moments

  • Are comfortable moving around an event while staying respectful and discreet

  • Use a quality camera or recent smartphone and can share full-size, high-resolution images

You don’t need to be a professional, just someone with an eye for the moments that matter.

How It Works

  • You choose your assignments. They’re scheduled in advance, so you can pick the ones that fit your schedule.

  • You’ll know what’s needed. Each assignment includes a short description of the photos we’re looking for, an event contact and a deadline.

  • Sharing is simple. After the event, upload your photos to a shared folder, and we’ll take it from there.

  • Safe-environment training is required. All team members complete VIRTUS, the Archdiocese of Chicago’s safe-environment training, before their first assignment. If you haven’t taken it, we’ll help you get started.

Ready to Share Your Eye for Parish Life?

Fill out a short inquiry form by December 5. It takes about five minutes. Have 5–10 of your best candid photos of people ready to share, either through a link to an online album or by email.
