Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, the Cardinal/Archbishop of Luxembourg, will celebrate the 9:30 a.m. Mass at Holy Child Jesus Parish on Sunday, July 31. All are welcome and invited to attend!
 
The former St. Margaret Mary Parish and St. Henry Parish were founded in large part by Luxembourg immigrants and their children who settled in this region as farmers, greenhouse operators, and shop owners. 

During the Mass at Holy Child Jesus Church, the Cardinal will bless the statue of Our Lady of Luxembourg, which he and the Archdiocese of Luxembourg donated to our parish in memory of our deceased parishioner, George Meyers, in 2020. George was a life-long member of the former St. Margaret Mary Parish and a long-time leader of the Luxembourg Brotherhood of America based in Chicago. The statue commemorates George’s devotion both to the former St. Margaret Mary Parish and Luxembourg heritage activities in Chicago.

We hope to see you there!

On August 13 and 14, we will take up a second collection to help Holy Trinity (Railways) Parish in the Diocese of Kabwe, Zambia build a new church. Their current church was built in 1958 and holds 350 people. The community has grown to over 2,000 members and many people must stand outside to attend Mass. Others cannot attend at all because of the lack of space and seating.

The community has been raising funds locally. The foundation is nearly completed and the parish is ready to continue construction. One of Holy Trinity’s parishioner’s family is also a parishioner at Holy Child Jesus Parish and has reached out to us for help.

The Holy Spirit calls upon us to help our brothers and sisters throughout the world. Please be as generous as you can so that the people of Holy Trinity Parish in Zambia can participate fully at Mass and enjoy the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
