Today, Sunday, April 30 is the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. We see in Jesus, the Good Shepherd, the heart of every calling. Everyone is called, and everyone has a vocation in the Church. Please pray for an increase in vocations in the Archdiocese of Chicago! The Mass and Adoration with Cardinal Blasé Cupich is Friday, May 12, 5:30-7p.m. at Holy Name Cathedral. All are invited to pray for vocations and all those who will be ordained. If you have questions regarding your vocation, please contact Fr. Tim Monahan at 847-531-0148 or tmonahan@archchicago.org.

Artists and Gardeners Needed

by

Queen of Apostles has two committees that would welcome help from interested parishioners – and are a wonderful way to meet
additional members of our community. The Arts and Environment Committee helps plan for the decoration of the church for major holidays and is in need of a committee head . The Gardening Committee needs volunteers to help maintain the lovely garden in front of the Rectory. Additionally, artists are needed to help plan a mural that will grace a new Children’s Liturgy space in the Church.

These are wonderful opportunities to use your creative gifts and contribute to the physical beauty of our environment. Anyone interested in helping with these projects please contact Beth Preston at eah48@yahoo.com or 773-627-3305 and she will help coordinate.
