Old St. Pat's Vision
Leading a movement of change within the Catholic Church marked by radical inclusivity, exquisite worship, and transformative kinship.
May 23, 2021: Please click the button below to visit our Vision & Mission page where we have shared some of the activities and actions that have unfolded in light of our vision this past year.
At the crossroads of a historic past and a promising future, engaged in a challenging present and in the midst of the rich diversity of Chicago, we are convinced that the mystery of Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection unfolds within human life. In response:
Together, we embrace the mission of Jesus Christ, so that others may experience the rich promise of God’s love for our world.
We ChooseWe choose to celebrate the goodness of life by continually creating an experience of hospitality, friendship, prayer, and service that responds to human needs.
|
We ResolveWe resolve to probe the meaning of our experiences of self, work, relationships, and family that guided by the Holy Spirit, we might express our faith in all our life activities and responsibilities.
|
We CommitWe commit ourselves to embody and advocate the values and actions that arise from our shared reflection and to influence our society in positive ways.

We invite you to join OSP Encounter for 5 days of service with Lake City Catholic Worker. Leaving the morning of Tuesday, June 15th and returning the evening of Saturday, June 19. Lake City Catholic Worker is a faith-based farming community in the Catholic Worker tradition of a land and craft—based economy, the works of mercy and Restoration Agriculture. Believing in the sacredness of the land, their agricultural practices strive to be ecologically sustainable, economically sound, and socially just. Their animals are humanely raised and their farming is perennial—based. They bring a spirit of joy to our work and share our excitement for local food and culture with our community. Their main focus of work is creating a just business through the selling of kombucha and vegetables.
