      Baby Bottles For Life

As part of our celebration of Mother’s Day, we are asking our parishioners to participate in a special fundraiser that will help women facing unplanned or crisis pregnancies TO CHOOSE LIFE FOR THEIR BABIES. This weekend, April 26/27, special baby bottles will be available for parishioners to take home and fill with spare change. They will also be available at the Resource Center next weekend, May 3/4.  Bottles will then be returned to the parish when you attend Mass on Mother’s Day Weekend — May 10/11. Baby bottles may also be dropped off at the Parish Office. Please do not leave filled bottles at the Resource Center. The money that is collected will help support the life-saving work of Woman’s Choice Services (located in Lombard and Downers Grove). The fundraiser is a great way for each member of the family to help in the building of a Culture of Life. Thank you in advance for your response to the call of the Gospel to serve those in difficult and unplanned pregnancies.

               

Save the Date!!!

Come celebrate Fr. Tivy’s retirement on Sunday, June 8th at the 11:30am Mass. A reception in the school gym will follow Mass.

From the Diocese

Every family should have received a letter from Bishop Sartain asking for a gift to help continue the ministry, services and charity of our diocese. Please return your "2008 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal" pledge card at your earliest convenience. Our faith helps us to recognize that gratitude is at the heart of generosity. We are all “Rays of Hope & Love” that continue to shine and supply the needs of God’s people with expressions of thanks to God. If you have not made a gift to the Catholic Ministries Appeal, please do so today. Your gift touches many lives. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
