Through August 29, 2022, our parishioners generously donated $15,270 to support the Summer Mission Appeal. 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 year we welcomed 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 and shared his struggles with our parishioners at all Masses the weekend of August 20 and 21, 2022.
