Dear Women of the Guild,

The sacrificial element which defines Easter is being demonstrated in real time as we watch from afar the war in Ukraine. The devastation blanketing this country is overwhelming but, so too, is the support offered by neighboring countries. To witness communities providing shelter and compassion to those who have left everything behind, underscores the importance of faith and charity as defined in 1 Corinthians 13. But even more critical, as stated at the end of this powerful piece of scripture, is the reminder to "... Let everything we do be done in love."

Join us for the Guild's Spring Luncheon on April 6th at Exmoor Country Club, as we gather to celebrate community and learn about the beautiful acts of love and charity Madonna Mission has shared with refugee families for ten years in the Chicago area. A wonderful luncheon not to be missed! Scroll down to register! Reservations CLOSE TODAY, APRIL 1st @ 12 NOON.

And back by popular demand is the Spring Garden Prayer Walk on Tuesday, May 24th at the Chicago Botanic Garden. More information and registration can be found below.

Finally, if you're interested in getting involved in the Women's Guild next season, please read below for further details! We'd love to have you on board!

Have a wonderful Easter & God Bless!

The Lenten Evening on March 15th treated everyone in attendance to a wonderful "spiritual spa," filled with meditative reflections, poems and music presented by Pam Coster, Christian Sterling and other women of the parish. Coffee and dessert rounded out the evening, allowing time to connect and catch up! Thank you, Pam for all your work in making this a beautiful event!
