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.
