Has your toddler outgrown a parent-child play group but isn’t quite ready for preschool? Consider enrolling in our Bridge Day Care Program. For children 2 years old on or before September 1st of the school year in which they are enrolling. Half-day morning sessions are available for
Bridge Day Care students from 8am to 11:30am. There is a choice between a 3-morning (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) and 5-morning (Monday thru Friday) program session.

With a set curriculum, an emphasis on socialization and having fun, this program recognizes thespecial gifts of each child as our loving staff works to:

• meet each child’s needs in order to become a selfconfident, inquiring learner.
• promote each child’s growth and well-being through the development of cognitive skills, social competence, positive self-image, and healthy physical and emotional development.
• provide an atmosphere that encourages a love for learning.

Catholic Charities continues to work with the Archdiocese of Chicago, plus city, state and community partners to assist the 12,000 asylum seekers who have arrived recently in Chicago. More than 40 families have now been matched with parishes, for up to six months through the Parish Family Sponsorship Program. This program provides direct assistance, financial aid, or both to these families in dire need as they get established.

All heads of parish and school organizations should have received an email this week regarding calendar submissions for 2023-2024. Please review the message and respond with your group’s events and meetings to the master calendar for August 2023 through July 2024. Someone from your organization MUST respond and abide by rules for facilities use in order to enter events. Please help us to be good stewards of our time and facilities by making the parish calendar as accurate and comprehensive as possible, even for events meeting regularly in the same place or meeting off-site or virtually. We all belong to and are part of Queen of Apostles Parish.

If you believe you have been missed in this communication, please email rhohner@queenofangelschicago.org to submit your group events and get on the mailing list.

Thank you!
