Dear Friend,
Let us pray for the young parishioners of Saint Andrew Parish who are receiving their First Holy Communion today, Saturday, May 4.
Their faith is an inspiration to us all! The eagerness and joy they have expressed in coming to the Table of the Lord is truly contagious. May the same desire that they have shown to receive the Eucharist be mirrored in us and bring us all closer to the Lord, day by day.
More information and key notifications for Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.
Children's Garage Sale
The Saint Andrew Children's Garage Sale is Saturday, May 18th from 8:00am - 11:30am. Start cleaning out your closets, basements, garages and attics now! This is your chance to finally donate that train set, doll house, stroller and a multitude of clothes that just take up space! Information about times to donate items and how you can help can be found in this weekend's online bulletin. To volunteer please email Julie Richards at Julie@standrew.org
Deacon Eric Update
Deacon Eric Sorensen was diagnosed with ALS late last year. ALS is a progressive nervous system disease, and Eric's symptoms have progressed rapidly. His muscles have weakened to the point that he's immobile, but his sharp wit and happy smile still shine through. His deep faith and trust in the Lord is evident.
In addition to remembering Eric and his wife, Rita, in your prayers, please take a moment to write a note of encouragement. He loves receiving mail. Mail your card or note to Deacon Eric Sorensen, care of Saint Andrew Parish, 3546 N Paulina St, Chicago, IL 60657.
