In response to last weekend’s tornadoes which have devastated Kentucky, southern Illinois, and several neighboring regions, we are seeking your assistance in a relief effort in our community.
The Irish American Heritage Center has arranged a semi-trailer to receive donations of food, water, hygiene items, first aid, pet food, camping equipment, baby supplies, and more. The trailer will be delivered to a relief agency in Kentucky for distribution this week of Christmas. The trailer is parked to receive donations in the parking lot of the bar and live music venue called Martyrs’, located at 3855 N. Lincoln Avenue (at Grace Street, just south of Irving Park Road), from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. today, Sunday December 19. Please note that furniture and clothes are not being accepted at this time.
The generosity of the community in this season of giving is greatly appreciated by those who lost their homes. You can read these details on our parish website or Facebook page. May God bless you and hold you.
