Heavenly Father, in every age,
you have been our refuge.
Yet again and still, we stand before you
asking for your protection on your Holy Church.
We place our Church in your hands,
for without you we can do nothing.
May Jesus, our High Priest and true compass,
continue to lead her in every thought and action
to be an instrument of justice,
a source of consolation, a sacrament of unity,
and a manifestation of your faithful covenant.

For the victims of abuse and their families,
pour out your healing and your peace.

For the leaders of your Church,
pour out your Spirit to guide them and
inspire their decisions.

For those who have followed your call to serve you
and your people in holiness,
sustain them by your grace.

For all the faithful who are searching for answers,
embrace them with your love,
restore their trust,
console them with your clear Gospel message,
and renew them with your sacraments.

We ask this in the name of your Son and our Brother,
and through the Holy Spirit, who lives and reigns with you forever and ever. Amen.

The 2019 Catholic Ministries annual Appeal Is Underway

  “Signs of Hope”

The 2019 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal has begun with a mailing that our parishioners have received. This is a mailing from Bishop Conlon asking for a pledge to the 2019 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal.

The Appeal not only funds many of the operations of the diocese, it funds services that are of great help to the ministries here in our parish. For example, funds support the Faith Formation Program.

This year, theme of the appeal is “Signs of Hope”. As Christians, we are called to imitate the Lord and, like Him, provide care to those who need our help.

How do we acknowledge God’s Grace and show Him our gratitude? One way that we can show our gratitude is by giving back to God the gifts He shared with us. We can support our parish, our diocese and the Church throughout the world with gifts of time, talent and treasure. The gifts we give enable ministries, education, and services that touch thousands of lives. Thanks to the many generous donors to the Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal, our diocese is filled with signs of hope: the Daybreak Shelter sponsored by Catholic Charities; support of our newly ordained priests and seminarians; support of our Catholic schools, to name a few.  Every gift is important to the success of the CMAA. Each pledge helps to reach our goal and allows us to provide signs of hope to many through the 30 ministries that the annual appeal supports.

Our parish goal is $52,300. With your financial support, we can exceed this goal. When we exceed our goal in paid pledges, we will receive 70% of the amount over goal for use in our parish. Please answer Bishop Conlon’s request and make a generous pledge. All pledges can be paid in ten (10) installments.

If you need another pledge envelope, please call the Parish office at 630- 860-2975. Thank you in advance for your support.  Click here to learn more about the Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal from the Signs of Hope” video featuring Bishop Daniel Conlon and the ministries that are helped by your generous donations.
