2010 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL

“…they left everything and followed him.” (Luke 5:11) 

Many of our parishioners either have or soon will receive a mailing from Cardinal George.  He will ask that you make a pledge to the 2010 Annual Catholic Appeal, the largest philanthropic source of financial support for ALL of the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese. 

This year the theme of the Appeal is, “…they left everything and followed Him.”  Our gifts are to be given in gratitude for what God has given us.  A gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal helps to provide education, services, and ministry to thousands within the outside of our Archdiocese. 

Also, when our parish reaches its goal of $52,674.48 in cash, 100% of the additional funds received will be returned to us for use in our parish. 

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS

Come journey with us. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process by which unbaptized adults or adults baptized in some other Christian Church become members of the Roman Catholic Church. 

This process is concerned with the total integration of people into believing, praying, living, serving, and celebrating members of the Body of Christ.  Are you interested?  For more information contact Sister Marianne at (847) 882-7580 or Marianne.S

2009 ARCHDIOCESAN ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL

"...DO ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD." (1 Cor. 10:31)

Many of our parishioners either have or soon will receive a mailing from Cardinal George. He will ask that you make a pledge to the 2009 Annual Catholic Appeal. The Appeal not only funds the operations of the Archdiocese, it funds services that are of great help to the ministries here in our parish. And this year only the Annual Catholic Appeal offers us a special opportunity. The Archdiocese will match each dollar that our parishioners contribute to the Appeal before the end of 2009 (up to our 2009 parish goal of $53,000.

And we are able to apply all of this money toward the reduction of our construction debt, which now stands at $800,000. In other words, if we achieve our parish goal of $53,000, we will reduce the principal on our debt by $106,000. Please prayerfully consider a pledge to the 2009 Annual Catholic Appeal.

COMIENZA LA CAMPAÑA CATÓLICA

ANUAL ARQUIDIOCESAL 2009

"...Haced todo por la Gloria de Dios." (1 Cor. 10:31)

Muchos los miembros de nuestra parroquia ya recibieron o pronto reciberán una misiva del Cardinal George. Él les pedirá que aporten su donativo a la Campaña Católica Anual 2009. Esta Campaña no sólo financia las operaciones de la Arquidiócesis, sino también servicios de gran ayuda para los ministerios de nuestra parroquia.

Solamente este año nos ofrece una oportunidad especial. La Arquidiócesis contribuirá un dólar por cada dólar que contribuyen nuestros parroquianos a la Campaña antes del fin del 2009 (hacia nuestra meta de $53,000) Y podemos contribuir todas estas monedas para bajar nuestro debo de construcción que ahora es $800,000. Si llegamos a nuestra meta parroquial de $53,000, bajaremos nuestro debo por un $106,000. Le pedimos que con todo fervor considere hacer un donativo a la Campaña Católica Anual 2009.

The Church of the Holy Spirit Ministry of Care has been in existence since 1979. All Ministers of Care complete a training program focusing on a variety of skills, with listening skills being among the most important.
