SVDP Reflects
May 12 – The Ascension of the Lord
Today as we celebrate the feast of the Ascension we are reminded that Christ’s saving work on earth continues through his disciples…and now through us.
When we give to the poor, God indeed pours his love, peace and joy into our hearts, into our lives and into the hearts of those who are poor.
12 de Mayo – La Ascensión del Señor
Hoy celebramos la fiesta de la Ascensión del Señor que nos recuerda de la Obra de Salvación que Cristo hizo en la tierra y que continua por medio de sus discípulos….y ahora a través de nosotros.
Cuando ayudamos a los más necesitados, Dios derrama su amor, paz y júbilo en nuestros corazones, en nuestras vidas y dentro de los corazones de aquellos que sufren pobreza.

When the ghosts realize they need Thomas’ help to move on, they decide to make an appearance once more.

Mother’s Day Appeal
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
May is a month to remember and celebrate the mothers and mother figures in our lives. These women-on whom all generations depend-are essential to the fullness of God’s plan for human life. May is also the month when we celebrate the important work of our Catholic Charities. Helping mothers in need is core to our Catholic faith and a cornerstone mission for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Whether they be single mothers, mothers of children with special needs, foster mothers, or mothers who are migrants, we help them and their children.
Your generous donation to the Mother’s Day Collection for Catholic Charities enables this urgent work. Catholic Charities was founded more than a century ago by the Archdiocese to help those in need in Cook and Lake counties. As the largest provider of human services in our region, Catholic Charities serves nearly 400,000 people annually. This tremendous reach of services is only possible through your generous support.
Each year I call on our parishes to support Catholic Charities, and so I encourage you to be generous by contributing, either:
- In-person during the second collection on Mother’s Day weekend, May 11-12
- Online at the Catholic Charities web site
- By mail to Catholic Charities, P.O. Box 8275, Carol Stream, IL 60197-8275
Thank you for your on-going support and partnership. May Mary, our Mother whom we honor in May, continue to inspire us to take up the mission of her Son with joyful enthusiasm.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Blase Cardinal Cupich
Archbishop of Chicago
