Bridge to a Brighter Future
Faith is a bridge to all dreams! And education is more than just imparting knowledge, it is a bridge to a brighter future. Your generosity to our Annual Fund makes a lasting impact on our school by providing access to faith formation, quality education and a strong community for students who may not otherwise be able to afford a Catholic School education. Your donation may directed to bridge one, or more, of these gaps: The Opportunity Gap (Tuition Assistance), The Digital Divide (Infrastructure & Technology) or Safety & Security.
To make a donation to the Annual Fund and become a bridge builder:
We are grateful for your partnership and commitment to our shared vision. May God bless you abundantly for your support!

Welcome the Stranger Update
From Cardinal Cupich: "In the fall 2022, as thousands of asylum seekers began arriving in Chicago, I asked Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago (CCAC) to work with our parish leaders to create the archdiocese's Welcome the Stranger program. Our aim was to accompany these newcomers on every step of their journey, from welcome to integration. Since then, we have partnered with parishes, community organizations, the State of Illinois, and City of Chicago to respond with compassion to new arrivals from countries throughout Central and South America. Our work was extended recently with the request to CCAC from the Illinois Department of Human Services to assist them in transitioning families out of shelters into stable housing.
Follow this link to view the report from CCAC which documents our progress thus far. I am particularly grateful to and proud of the parishes that have answered my call to sponsor families. CCAC informs me that nineteen parishes are working with them to this end and I know additional parishes are involved. Assuring you of a place in my prayers.

Maybe you only listen to prayerful music or just take the ride in silent prayer. You’re going to be stuck in the car anyway, may as well use this time to rest your heart on God’s heart. | |
