RESPECT LIFE TO MEET JULY 13
The Respect Life Committee will hold its next meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 13 in the Parish Center. The committee has been formed to raise awareness of life issues within the Queen of Angels parish, the community, the religious education program and the school. We plan to support life issues in a number of ways including education, pastoral care, spiritual efforts and activism.
We have amazing plans for the upcoming months and lots of work to do. Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings and participate! If you have questions or need further information, please contact Patti Corbitt at 773-275-8044, or visit our web site, www.respectlifechicago.com.
CONSIDER SPRED MINISTRY
Does the routine of daily life ever numb your appreciation of beauty and wonder and meaning?
Do you ever long to make your own life more meaningful and influence someone else for the better?
Do you have 24 evenings out of 365 each year to emerge from your shell, to share your stories, to be in community with others like you, and to make a difference in the life of someone special?
If this resonates with you, SPRED can offer a unique opportunity to fulfill yourself in the company of like-minded parishioners who meet weekly from September to May (not in January), to share life experiences, deepen our faith, and model the impact of faith in our lives for retarded adults in our community. Through story, music, gesture and expression, we visit the depths of our own faith and communicate God’s love for each and every person--all this while forming long-lasting friendships with very special people.
The SPRED experience at Queen of Angels is available on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings to additional catechists starting this September. Please call Erika Gilfether at 773-972-0765.
