Church Decorating Help Needed

by

Happy Spring! The Liturgical Art and Environment Committee needs volunteers to help on Holy Saturday morning, April 16, 2022 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon as we prepare the church for the blessed celebration of Easter. Volunteers will help decorate the altar, nave and gathering space, working with flowers and fabric.
We welcome all who are interested in the work of decorating the altar and sanctuary for this wonderful time of year. If you have any questions or difficulty with the SignUpGenius site, please contact Katie Phelps at kep.phelps@gmail.com or 773-988-1930.  Thank you for your much-needed help!

SVDP Food Drive Update

by

The Society of St. Vincent DePaul is grateful for the generosity of the parishioners who donated to the annual Lenten food drive. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to serve 73 neighborhood families including a refuge family that arrived in Chicago last summer.  We will distribute some of the extra food in the weeks to come through the little outdoor pantry at St. Matthias. In addition to serving the material needs of our neighbors, we were also able to connect families with children to prepare for the sacraments; for some neighbors, this is their first contact with the Catholic Church in Chicago. May God bless you for your generosity to your neighbors!

La Sociedad de St. Vincent DePaul está agradecida por la generosidad de los feligreses que donaron a la colecta anual de alimentos de Cuaresma. Gracias a su generosidad, pudimos atender a 73 familias del vecindario, incluida una familia refugiada que llegó a Chicago el verano pasado. Distribuiremos algunos de los alimentos adicionales en las próximas semanas a través de la pequeña despensa al aire libre en St. Matthias. Además de atender las necesidades materiales de nuestros vecinos, también pudimos conectar a familias con niños para la preparación para los sacramentos; para algunos vecinos, este es su primer contacto con la Iglesia Católica en Chicago. ¡Que Dios los bendiga por su generosidad a sus vecinos!

Catholic Schools Week

by

National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. Catholic Schools Week begins on the last Sunday in January. This year, Catholic Schools Week will take place Sunday, January 30 through Saturday, February 5.

The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2022 is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” As communities of faith, Catholic schools instill in students their destiny to become saints. Academic excellence is the hallmark of Catholic education intentionally directed to the growth of the whole person – mind, body and spirit. Finally, service is fundamental to Catholic education and the core of Catholic discipleship. Service is intended to help form people who are not only witnesses to Catholic social teaching, but also active participants through social learning.

Mass for Lost Children

by

A Mass for Lost Children will be celebrated at 9 a.m. on Sunday, January 23. This annual Mass honors the memory of any children that have been lost to members of our parish community. Any who are mourning children of any age or relation, for any reason — such as abduction, abortion, accident, illness, miscarriage, suicide, or violence — are invited to pray with us, and allow our parish community to pray for you and for your precious child. Prayer intentions for individual children may be written at any time in the parish petitions book, which is located on a stand in the back aisle of the church, near the hymnal carts. Help us to remember all the children who have touched us, heal us from their loss and celebrate the lives they led on earth as well as their new lives in God’s merciful embrace.

The Mass is sponsored by the Respect Life Committee and will be livestreamed on the parish website and YouTube channel as well as being celebrated in person in our shared worship space at 2330 W. Sunnyside.
