Dear Friend,
In case you have missed all the pink balloons and chocolate boxes, Valentine's Day is this week! Isn't it marvelous that one of the grayest months of winter has a bright spot of love in it? It may be a Hallmark holiday, but it's a beautiful reminder that God has made us with and for overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love.
Here are a few important notices from the parish for the week ahead.

Annual Catholic Appeal
The Archdiocese of Chicago is able to offer vital services that keep our parish and the parishes around us running smoothly. They ask in return that we make a pledge to support them. Below we've put a copy of the appeal's video which gives an excellent account for how the funds from the appeal are used. We invite you to find out more...
Mercy in the City Podcast
There's a new trend among Saint Andrew parishioners as they make the Saint Andrew podcast part of their weekly practice. This week, Heather Gentile reads for us Chapter 6 of Mercy in the City and shares her experience of helping out those who are hungry. Got 10 minutes? Listen to the podcast!
Can You Volunteer with Us?
We're looking for volunteers to join us to serve at the Greater Chicago Food Depository on Saturday, March 2, 2019 from 8:30 to 11:15am sorting food to be shared with local food pantries and soup kitchen. Its a great way to give a little back so that others will have the chance just to have a good meal. More info here.
We invite you to take advantage of these opportunities to reach out to those in need and grow in community.
For your convenience, we've included a copy of yesterday's bulletin. Have a great week!
