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 8, 2025 Jesus breathes upon the disciples and the Holy Spirit descends upon them. “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” —John 20:22-23
Discussion Questions
Why does Jesus give us the gift of the Holy Spirit before He ascends into heaven?
When is a time you had to forgive someone or when someone forgave you? What did this teach you about God’s mercy?
How can we invite the Holy Spirit into our daily lives this week?
