Catholic Charities Mother's Day Appeal

May 11 | All Masses

Your support today can create stability for generations! Make your gift to the 2025 Mother’s Day Appeal today to support mothers and children across Cook and Lake counties. Your generosity helps us serve more than 61,000 moms and families every year with supports that promote long-term growth and well-being.

Read about Dianne*, a recipient of Catholic Charities’ Giving Hope Fund: Dianne was working hard to maintain stable housing for her son, with support from Catholic Charities, when she experienced an unexpected personal tragedy and couldn’t manage all her expenses. The Giving Hope Fund at Catholic Charities provided financial assistance for utilities needed to stay in their apartment.

“I never had someone show me so much love and respect,” Dianne says. Now she passes that love on, including to her son, whom she encourages to pursue his

goals. “I want him to get something more out of life than what I had. My son is my pride and joy. I am forever grateful.”

Please support the Second Collection on Mother’s Day, May 11 or anytime at catholiccharities.net/mothers

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!

Annual Catholic Appeal Online

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

May 4, 2025 Peter and the disciples go fishing and encounter Jesus on the shore,who helps them catch their fill of fish and invites them to eat with Him. “He said to him, ‘Follow me.’” —John 21:19

Discussion Questions

Imagine if Jesus came up to you today and asked “Do you love me?” like he asks Peter in today’s Gospel. What would you say? What are daily actions that show my love for Jesus?

When was a time when it was hard to recognize Jesus at work in my life?

What does following Jesus look like for me this week? Where can my family help me follow Jesus?
