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
June 22, 2025 Jesus prays over and blesses the five loaves and two fish to feed the five thousand. “Looking up to heaven, he said the blessing over them, broke
them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.” —Luke 9:16
Discussion Questions
Imagine you are tired and hungry in a crowd of people, and Jesus provides a plentiful meal! What is Jesus trying to teach us here?
In today’s Gospel, Jesus takes an offering that seems small and magnifies it. What is something small you can offer to God? How might he transform it?
What is an area of your life where you feel “hungry”?
