Today, we were deeply honored to receive a very special gift: a St. Joseph icon from the Illinois State Council and the Chicago Chapter of the Knights of Columbus.
This beautiful image of St. Joseph, our parish’s namesake, has traveled the world as part of the Pilgrim Icon Program, inspiring prayer and devotion wherever it went, and even catching the attention of Pope Francis himself. Icons like this are sacred images used in prayer and reflection, helping us deepen our connection to faith. More information to come soon about the history of this piece!
We are so grateful to the Knights for this incredible honor and meaningful gift. Stay tuned to see where we decide to place it in our parish!
