Pizza Sales to Support Scouts

Dine or Donate

Do you need pizza for pizza night? Order this week’s pizza through your local BSA Troop 894 Boys & Girls! And if you want to pass, why not donate a pizza or two to our neighborhood food pantry, the Friendship Center. You can help make another family’s Friday night special.

Our Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria Pizza coupons are good for one 9” FROZEN pizza (sausage, pepperoni, cheese, or spinach) and may be redeemed at any of their locations. Get 1 for $13 or 2 for $25.
When you buy a coupon below, you can decide who gets to enjoy Pizza: you, the Friendship Center or both!
Troop 894 always appreciate the great community support they receive, especially at this time.

School Annual Fund

DONATE TODAY 

 The sun will be setting on 2020 and a new year, full of hope, is on the horizon. As you shout your hoorays for the expectations of good things to come in 2021, please also take a moment to reflect on the new found strength and positivity that has come from persevering in a very challenging year.  

At Queen of Angels School, we are counting our blessings. One such blessing is that we have a wonderful new principal who has dedicated herself to the safety of our teachers and students, while keeping the school’s doors open for the option of in-person learning. In addition, our school has developed methods to successfully deliver diverse curricula to our in-person and virtual learners, inclusive of technology, music, and art in the form of social-emotional learning strategies. 

Our technology resources have helped students learn new ways to be organized and keep open the lines of communication with our virtual learners. Further, music and art have provided our students a valuable outlet to express their emotions as they continue to adapt to a new reality. 

 Thank you to our Annual Fund donors whose contributions have helped drive many of the advancements at our school. As we turn to 2021, however, the challenges of 2020 will linger and therefore, your financial support is needed more than ever to continue writing our success story. 

Please consider donating to the Queen of Angels School Annual Fund to support the advancement of technology and the fine arts that tuition alone does not cover. We are thankful for any amount you are able to give. Your gift is tax-deductible and we welcome gift-matching through your employer.  

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

 Please use the direct link above to make a donation or checks may be mailed to:

A SPRED Thank You

by

On behalf of all of the volunteer catechists and our SPRED Friends, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parishioners of Queen of Angels/St. Matthias parish for their wonderful generosity in response to the Tootsie Roll Drive of the Knights of Columbus.  Because of your generosity we will be able to maintain and improve our SPRED meeting space housed at the parish office center at 4412 N. Western Ave.

As a result of the challenges of Covid, we will be reimagining our lovely meeting space to adapt to the times.   We are reworking our groups in order to be able to provide a place and a partner for all of our young adult and adult Friends.   Another challenge that faces us now is the recruitment of more volunteers to fill the spaces of catechists who have decided to retire – all who have offered multiple years of dedication to the SPRED ministry.  And so … we are on a determined search for new and younger men & woman to step into the shoes of theses wonderful people to bring new life to our SPRED communities.  Our Friends rely on a personal relationship – a partner to walk with them in faith though a life giving process which offers a place of peace, hope and love.   We all need this.  We all need to walk hand in hand in faith and fellowship to find the good in life – in one another.  To discover over and over again Joy in Life.

To learn more, please visit the link on the website for Queen of Angels Parish (see Ministries/Spiritual Life or go directly to the SPRED webpage, then contact Julia Hess  773-680-9225.

Catholic Charities Special Collection

by

We were not able to gather in church on Mother’s Day weekend, when the second collection would have been for Catholic Charities to help the mothers, children, and seniors in Cook and Lake Counties who are struggling. In these difficult times, Catholic Charities is still hard at work feeding the hungry via food pantries and meal programs; visiting seniors to offer vital homemaker services; coordinating housing and case management for the homeless and survivors of domestic violence; and checking in with counseling patients who may need extra help coping.

This weekend, August 29-30, presents another chance to support these Works of Mercy. If you are able, you may contribute online via GiveCentral or Catholic Charities web site; through your offering envelope and the mailbox at the parish office or offering box at church; or by mailing your check directly to Catholic Charities at 721
N. LaSalle St, Chicago, IL 60454. Thank you for your help.
