The Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal helps our parish
and the Diocese of Joliet to provide countless minis-
tries, programs and services to support our friends and
neighbors in immeasurable ways.
A mailing will soon be sent to all parishioners who
have not yet made a gift to the CMAA. Despite the
severe February snowstorm we encountered over
Commitment (In-Pew) Weekend, we are confident we
can still meet our goal if we all partner together. If you
have not done so already, I ask that you please reflect
on God’s gifts to you and prayerfully consider support-
ing the CMAA. A gift to the CMAA, no matter the
amount, will make a difference!
By partnering together, we can continue to spread the
Gospel message in our Diocese through our ministries.
Thank you for your support.

In this year’s Easter season we will discuss the 14 Stations of the Resurrection. It will begin with the empty tomb and end with
Pentecost. We are so focused on the Stations in Lent that we forget the joy of Easter. Come take a new look at what joy the
friends of Jesus experienced.

CLOUD OF WITNESSES The Saints Renew the Church
Bernadette Soubirous was born in 1844. Her devout
Catholic parents struggled to provide for their
children. God saw the beauty of Bernadette’s simple,
humble soul. In 1858, God sent the Blessed Virgin Mary to
Bernadette with a message for the world.
The Blessed Virgin emphasized the need for reparation and
prayer for the conversion of sinners, requested that a
chapel be built on the site of the apparitions, and provided
a miraculous spring that has healed many people from
terrible diseases. St. Bernadette died at the age of thirty-
five in 1879. Her body is incorrupt and can still be viewed
to this day.
