This past weekend, we join the whole Archdiocese of Chicago to kick off the Annual Catholic Appeal, which supports the Archdiocese's missions as well as our own parish. The. them of this year's appeal is "Together We Bring Light".
Next weekend, Cardinal Cupich will offer the homily at all Masses, and following the homily, we will be invited to make our commitment to support the missions of our Church.
Holy Child Jesus Parish has a strong tradition of generosity in responding to this appeal each year. Last year, we were blessed to double our goal of $41,000. This year, our parish has been given the same goal, and we hope that together we can do the same — or even better.
Please remember that any amount over our goal will be returned to our parish to support ongoing maintenance of our parish. We invite you to prayerfully consider being part of this year's Annual Catholic Appeal. Every gift makes a difference.
