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 - May 20, 2020
In the face of this unprecedented crisis, your kindness and generosity sustain us!
With your help, we will continue to come together to support each other and our sisters and brothers in need. Thousands of us worship together on Sunday mornings via the gift of livestream. We are nourished by the Word of God and enhanced by the beautiful gifts of our Music Ministry.
Throughout the week, the Old St. Pat’s staff offer prayerful podcasts, spiritual direction, Beloved circles, rosary groups, musical vespers, young adult gatherings, family liturgies, online education, and more – all virtually, of course.
Our pastoral care staff and ministry of care team have come together to develop volunteer networks for helping families encounter their grief after the death of a loved one, open themselves up to questions about isolation, face the illness of a family member, continue prayer chain calls and mail handwritten messages and care packages to the most vulnerable among us. The Pastoral team has accompanied families grieving the death of a loved one with virtual prayer services. Ministry staff are compiling a list of resources for our members seeking debt relief. Our Weddings and Baptisms team members continue to accompany the numerous couples as they postpone these significant events.
None of this would be possible without the support of Sunday Giving. In fact, everything we do here – from liturgy and music to educating our youngest members to our Kinship Initiative in North Lawndale to Pastoral Care to Foundations for teens to our transformative RCIA experience to Encore, Gay+, the Men’s Group, OSP Next, etc., is made possible by your generous support of Sunday Giving. On average, 20% of our Sunday collection is contributed through the Sunday basket. While we can’t pass the Sunday basket right now, we hope you will support our Sunday collection by making an online gift via the Livestream donate button, by texting GIVE to 312/535-0118, 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.
