 In December, the Archdiocese of Chicago initiated a program to welcome Catholics back to the Church, who may have stopped attending mass regularly, or altogether. The invitation to return was sent through a variety of television, Internet and print outlets.
In this second phase of the Catholics Come Home initiative, the Archdiocese welcomes Catholics who have been away from the Church to experience forgiveness and renewal with additional times for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for our Lenten mission on the evenings of March 7 through March 10, 2010.
This year's mission will be led by Rev. Tom Donaldson, CSSR. You may have heard Fr. Tom lead a retreat or mission in the past as he has directed hundreds of gatherings across the U.S. He currently resides at St. Michael's Parish in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood. We are grateful that his close proximity has made him available to lead us in prayer and reflection this coming Lent.

According to legend, the St. Joseph Table originated in Sicily several centuries ago, during a period of severe drought and famine. The people were starving and all they could grow were fava beans. In desperation, they prayed to St. Joseph, the protector of the Holy Family. He answered their prayers by sending good rains and an abundant harvest to end the famine.

This year's Blacktop Ball is only three months away! Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 15, 2010, and watch for news here and in the bulletin. Last year's event sold out completely and the early buzz is hot for this year's Ball, so plan to buy your tickets early. Committee members have been gathering donations and auction items. The Donation Form 2010 can be used to place an ad in our program or donate an item. The gift baskets assembled by so many generous donors were a big hit last year; here are some ideas if you'd like to donate a basket for our 2010 silent auction.
