Summer Mission Appeal - Solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ

Each summer the Global Mission Office of the Archdiocese of Chicago facilitates the Mission Cooperation Plan, an opportunity for international missionary dioceses, religious congregations and organizations to share stories and invite support from our faith communities.

 

This annual second collection provides vital support to ministries that witness and proclaim the love of Jesus in areas of the world affected by poverty and upheaval.

This year we welcome Father Joseph Mulligan, SJ who supports a vital ministry to the sick and people living with disabilities in Nicaragua.
 
Father Joe has been living in Nicaragua for more than 30 years promoting Social Justice and accompanying Christian Base Communities. Father Joe provides assistance, support and pastoral care to the very poor in Nicaragua who have very little, to no social safety net.
 
He is a writer, a frequent speaker on Social Justice issues and a proponent of small faith communities.  Come welcome Father Joe at all masses August 20 and 21 in the church and support our brothers and sisters in Christ, in solidarity, with your prayers and assistance.
