Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed a Year of St. Francis from Jan. 10, 2026 through Jan. 10, 2027. The Archdiocese of Chicago will join Catholics around the world in celebrating a Franciscan Jubilee year, observed from Jan. 10, 2026, through Jan. 10, 2027, marking the 800th anniversary of the passing of St. Francis of Assisi, a Catholic friar who founded the religious order of the Franciscans. Pope Leo XIV proclaimed the special Jubilee year inviting the faithful to reflect on the life and enduring legacy of St. Francis whose profound commitment to the gospel, love for the poor and reverence for all of creation continues to inspire Christians eight centuries later.

GRIEF SUPPORT
Monday, July 13, 3:30-5pm How Grief Changes Us: Forever and For Now Grief is change. It changes our life, routine, and our “picture” of what we thought life would be. As we look deeply at grief over time, we may discover changes in ourselves that have made us live life more fully in relationships, perspectives, and compassion, even though right now we can’t see it. Consider joining other “grieving hearts” to explore this idea of change and growth and healing. Facilitated by Valerie Piazza LCPC 
Lectio Divina
The format could be described as a fusion of lectio divina (sacred reading) and group spiritual direction/faith sharing. The starting point is to look at the upcoming Sunday Gospel and reflect on its various meanings, and then to see how it applies to participants' lives. For more information on Lectio Divina click here. Next meeting June 25. All are welcome!
