Giving to Old St. Pat's
As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” (1 Peter 4:10)
Giving Update - July 2020
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.
On average, 20% of our Sunday Giving is contributed through the weekly Sunday collection basket. While we can’t pass the physical basket right now, we hope you will support our Sunday collection by setting up a recurring electronic gift or making a one-time gift by clicking here or via the Livestream donate button, by texting OLDSTPATS to 77977, or by mailing a check to Old St. Pats, 711 W. Monroe St., Chicago, IL 60661.
Thank you!

God is generous with us, and we are called to be generous in return. Without the gifts of time, talent and treasure shared so generously by our Old St. Pat’s members, we simply would not be the vibrant, welcoming, radically inclusive, and justice-minded Catholic church community we are proud to be. By sharing our gifts with one another, we will ensure we thrive for generations to come.
Old St. Pat’s offers many opportunities to support our mission, including by supporting our Sunday Giving Commitment, by making a gift to a specific ministry or initiative, and by contributing to preserve our beautiful campus. We also offer many ways to make a gift.
