Please Make Your Gift to the 2022 Annual Catholic Appeal

Many families in our parish will be receiving the Annual Catholic Appeal mailing from Cardinal Cupich. On behalf of those served by the ministries, parishes and schools who receive funding from the Appeal, we thank you for your gifts. Please return your response as soon as possible.

The Annual Catholic Appeal offers a wonderful opportunity to answer the call “Making all things new … God’s promise and our responsibility.” This is especially important as many in our parishes have been affected financially by the pandemic. We encourage giving at all levels to support this initiative.

In addition to providing for ministries and services throughout the archdiocese, the Annual Catholic Appeal funds services at Our Lady of the Wayside. For example, Appeal funds support our Evangelization and Faith Formation tools such as the Word on Fire and FORMED programs, the Lenten, I Thirst: 40 Days with Mother Teresa book, and more!

You can make your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal through Our Lady of the Wayside’s GiveCentral account, on the Archdiocese’s website, or by returning the response envelope from the Cardinal’s letter you may have received in January.

When we financially support the work of our parish, our archdiocese and the Catholic Church throughout the world, we experience a feeling of deep gratitude, especially when we contemplate God’s many gifts to us personally. By sharing our wealth through gifts to the 2022 Annual Catholic Appeal, we demonstrate our commitment to the Church and each other.

Yours in Christ,
Father Arthur Marat
