Giving to OSP
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
Over the past four-and-a-half months, as we’ve navigated unprecedented and often changing circumstances, one thing has remained constant – your generosity. Your gifts to Sunday Giving have sustained us – making it possible for us to bring Sunday livestream mass to thousands; continue to serve hundreds of others through our outreach and social justice initiatives; offer Beloved virtual circles nearly every night; provide hours of spiritual direction and family and individual counseling; offer enhanced podcasts, virtual speakers, musical vespers, prayer services, rosary groups and the Just Faith series, among countless other ministries.

In addition, because of your giving, our pastoral care staff and ministry of care have developed volunteer networks for helping families encounter their grief after the death of a loved one, open themselves up to questions about isolation, or face the illness of a family member. They’ve continued prayer chain calls and sent handwritten messages and care packages to the most vulnerable among us. Our Weddings and Baptisms team members continue to accompany the numerous couples as they reschedule these significant events often in ways very different than their hopes and expectations.
Your generous support allowed us to welcome Meg Boyle, who has been hard at work engaging our young adults in building a robust ministry for them to serve and be served. We held OSP Night at the Movies and are busy working on additional ways to engage and serve our own members both spiritually and socially as well as our friends in need throughout Chicago.

Hope. Kinship. Hospitality.
Encounter the God who loves you. Engage the community who welcomes you. Serve the world that needs you.
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:
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.
|
Together, we embrace the mission of Jesus Christ, so that others may experience the rich promise of God’s love for our world.
