Annual Catholic Appeal: Together We Bring Hope
Thank you for your support!
This year’s theme for the Annual Catholic Appeal is Together we bring hope. It echoes the theme of the Holy Year Pilgrims of Hope. It also resonates with our efforts of renewal in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Contributions to the Appeal are an effective way to bring hope into our world, especially to those in need.
A portion of donations above our parish goal is returned to us and used for special parish projects. Thanks to past generosity, we've upgraded sound systems, security cameras and installed narthex screens. We'll soon begin restroom upgrades at both churches with proceeds from last year’s campaign!
This year’s rebate helps upgrade our playground, used year-round by both parish and school—let’s make it happen together!
| | Thank you for your generous support of the Annual Catholic Appeal—your past and present gifts make a lasting impact on our parish and the wider Church! | |

Gospel in Focus
November 2, 2025 Jesus tells that he has been sent to do the will of God the Father. “For this is the will of myFather, that everyone who sees the Son andbelieves in him may have eternal life.” —John 6:40
Discussion Questions
Jesus offers each of us “eternal life” - hallelujah! Have you ever thought about what this will be like? How do you imagine it?
Who can we pray for today? Do we have family or friends who havepassed away, who we can offer our prayers throughout the week?
Why do we take the time as a Church to pray for those who are departed?
