Dear Family, This weekend, we kick off our 2013 Diocese of Joliet Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal The Lord Sustains His People. Our parish goal is $67, 516. The money we raise in the coming weeks supports all personnel, agencies and programs the Diocese offers to some 700,000 Catholics in Joliet area. I thank you on behalf of the Bishop and the thousands of people that will directly benefit from your generosity. I am so thankful for the overwhelming support that you give me and our parish for caring for those we serve with love and compassion. We do this because we are a family. I ask each of you to pass on that family support to the family of our Diocese. We are each called to serve and sustain one another. Thank you, once again, for serving Gods people here and in the Diocese of Joliet. In the Lords Love, Fr. Jim Curtin

2013 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal Please answer Bishop Conlons request and make a generous pledge. All pledges can be paid in 10 monthly installments. Envelopes available in Narthex. Thank you for your support.
Next weeks 2nd collection is to support the Catholic Church in Central & Eastern Europe. Through the Sacraments of Initiation Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharistwe become part of the Church, the Body of Christ. As such, we are called to holiness to live as disciples of Christ. As Stewards of Gods creation, we celebrate His Presence in the Eucharist offered in reparation for the sins of the living and the dead (CCC1414) and look with hope to Christ's pledge of glory with him (1419).

We would like to introduce the Walking With Faith Cross. It has the same concept as the Giving Tree at Christmas, but only shoes are purchased for those in need and they do not need to be wrapped. Please attach the tag that you take from the cross to the shoes you purchase and place them under the cross. The shoes will benefit those at the Daybreak Shelter, Lambs Fold, Vilaseca Day Care Center and the Guardian Angel Home. All shoes must be placed under the Walking With Faith Cross by Sunday, March 24th. As always, thank you for your generosity and support to those in need this Lenten season.
