HUMAN CONCERNS COMMISSION
Dear Lord, Hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need.
Remember Those Far From Home LCpl. Elijah Burgins Po3. John Castro Lt. Eric Infante Pvt. Peter Eck
Cpl. Peter Hinderer Sgt. Scott Majewski Afc. Jeremy McNeel Spc. Justin Pastirik Pfc. Joseph Pusateri Theodore Soupart
Let us remember and pray for those who are always in our hearts. If you have loved ones who are currently serving in the Armed Forces, please call the rectory at 847-437-6208 and we will add their names to our bulletin list. When your loved one has returned home, please let us know so we can remove their name from the list. Thank you.
In today’s Gospel we find that God is a God of the living, and this is indeed the core of our hope. Jesus has risen and is with us, therefore, at no time should we be without hope for the future.
When you give the furniture, household items and clothing you no longer use to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, you give hope to your neighbors who have nothing.
MY BROTHER’S KEEPER MINISTRY
Seniors, do you need a ride to the doctor or grocery store? Please give us at least 3 days notice. This is a free service to all

End Domestic Violence NOW!
Domestic Violence Hotline
1-800-799-SAFE
Domestic Violence incidents rise during difficult financial times. If you see a family in trouble, please call the hotline.
St.Vincent de Paul is an emergency source for food and short-term financial help for parishioners and those living within the parish boundaries. Please call 847-437-6208. Requests will be handled with care and confidentiality.
