Elizabeth Ministry
"Our dream is that this ministry will help the parish truly celebrate
the gift of each child conceived and born, and fully mourn each
miscarriage and infant death. This will be a strong witness to our
belief in the dignity and worth of all life! By treasuring the gift
of fertility, by assisting those suffering infertility, by encouraging those
in the adoptive process, and by supporting the families experiencing
an infant crisis, we will be a strong and consistent voice for life
in our church, our community, and the world.”
Elizabeth Ministry is an outreach to women in special times of
motherhood. It is based on Jesus' vision of the radical goodness,
beauty, and truth of human life. The purpose of this ministry is to
affirm, support, encourage, and assist women in response to their
needs during the childbearing years. The Ministry provides meals to
families in crisis, a prayer tree, parent and marriage enrichment,
CPR, baby sitting, and an annual retreat.
Meetings are held every other month on Tuesday mornings at 8:30.
Those interested in being part of this ministry and are willing to
share time and gifts please contact Catherine Mullen by phone at (773) 428-4592
or e-mail at cathyjomullen@aol.com.

Finance Council
The mission of the Finance Council is to provide advice and
consultation to the pastor in financial matters. It endeavors to
increase regular income and bequests, provide oversight on parish
savings, major expenditures, general operating expenses and the
annual school subsidy. It has been very helpful in providing long
term planning to enhance income and savings and to contain costs.
Each year an invitation to apply is extended to anyone in the parish
who feels qualified.
For more information, please contact the rectory.
