Workshop on Racism and
Ethinic Sensitivity: March 24, 2007
The Human Concerns Commission is sponsoring this insightful
day-long event in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Chicago
Office of Racial Justice. At the workshop, people from different
cultures and traditions come together to reflect on issues of
racism and ethnic sensitivity. The program is designed to lead
participants to a new experience of what it truly means to be
brothers and sisters, responding to the movement of the Spirit
in prayer, reflection, and conversion of heart. Prayer is a
major foundation of the workshop. Welcome and refreshments begin
at 8:30, with the program beginning at 9:00 a.m. There is a $20
registration fee to cover speakers, materials and lunch. For
more information, please e-mail Mary Samerdyke at

Easter Concert for
Seniors: April 3, 2007
The Human Concerns Commission, along with the Blessed Sacrament
Children's Choir invites all senior citizens to celebrate the
coming of Easter of with a special concert of music in keeping
with the Paschal Feast. This event has long been a parish
favorite as the Blessed Sacrament Children's Choir entertains
all with their jubilant singing. Delicious refreshments will be
served, immediately following the concert, in the Parish
Center.
SHARE: Easter
After a successful pilot program at Thanksgiving and in conjunction with St. Michael's parish theme of "Bringing our Faith to Life", the Human Concerns Commission is proud to once again sponsor SHARE -- Singles Holidays Alone Response Effort. We are asking families of St. Mike's to open their home on Easter Sunday to one or more single parishioners on that day for a holiday dinner. Many times we assume that those around us at Mass have family or friends in Chicago to celebrate with on the holidays, but that isn't always the case; this program provides a way to share the warmth of the holiday with others!
If you are able to
host on Easter Sunday, please contact Jeanne
Sanna at 312.932.8975 or e-mail her at
jeannesanna@yahoo.com.
You can also sign up after Mass in the rear of
the church. This is not only an opportunity
to bring life to your faith but also to make
some new friendships!
Blessing of the Animals: October 7, 2007 @ 10:00am We celebrate the Feast of St. Francis with a blessing of the animals (small donation accepted) in the plaza at St Michael. After the ceremony, participants enjoy refreshments and a chance to meet one another. Contact HCC Voicemail at 312-642-2498 x56 for more information or email |
