Parish News

Members of our parish visited the local homeless shelters four times in January, February, and March of this year and offered pizza and fellowship. A special thanks go out to our local Pizza Ranch who gave us a great discount on the pizzas. We would also like to thank the Metropolis of Chicago's Mustard Seed Fund which awarded us a grant to fund this project. May God offer comfort to us all during our times of need.
