2024 Annual Catholic Appeal
Together at the Table
February 10-11 was Commitment Weekend when we listened to a recorded message from Cardinal Blase Cupich at all Masses, reflecting on our call to help welcome all to the table. The Appeal assists struggling parish communities, schools, RE and ministry formation programs providing inspiration, education and much needed services to the less fortunate in our Archdiocese and throughout the world. Your support is critical, especially given that all monies raised over our parish goal will return to the parish to support our various ministries.
Many parishioners have already received the Cardinal’s mailing inviting them to participate. On behalf of those served by the ministries, parishes and schools that receive funding from the Appeal, we thank you for your prayerful consideration and support this year and in past years. When you support the Appeal, you are united to a faith community that demonstrates the love of neighbor through the good works we are all able to collectively provide. Your thoughtful pledge or gift will help to ensure that all will be welcome Together at the table.
The Appeal will continue for the remainder of February. There is a table in the gathering space of both Church sites with brochures, offering envelopes and a basket for your completed donation. You may also offer your gift or pledge online by following the link below. Please remember to add our Parish name on your offering form so that we get credit.
Thank you for joining our faith community that demonstrates the love of neighbor through the good works we are all able to collectively provide as we make room for all Together at the Table!
Many parishioners have already received the mailing from Cardinal Cupich inviting them to contribute to this year’s Annual Catholic Appeal. The Appeal funds the work of the Church in the Archdiocese of Chicago in its holy mission to teach, to serve and to sanctify, thus carrying out the work of Christ. When you support the Appeal, you are united to a faith community that demonstrates the love of neighbor through the good works we are all able to collectively provide.
This year’s theme is WALKING ON THE ROAD WITH JESUS. Ultimately, this is what building a new reality is all about for our newly united parishes and our larger Oak Park efforts, to share our faith stories and walk on the road with Jesus, inviting others on that journey with us. As parishes of the Archdiocese of Chicago, our main goal is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and carry on his mission through our faith communities, schools and ministries. The Appeal’s funds, as you may have read in the literature sent in the mail, support low-income parishes and schools, religious education and outreach programs, development for priests, Catholic Relief Services and more.
On behalf of those served by the ministries, parishes and schools that receive funding from the Appeal, we thank you for your consideration and support this year and in past years.
