Catholic Charities 
Centennial Week of Service
 All year long, we have been highlighting the many ways that you serve individuals, families, and communities. We are so grateful for the strong support of volunteers in our last 100 years and look to all the ways volunteers will lead us into the future!

Join us, April 9-13 to close out our Centennial Celebration with a Week of Service. The week will include opportunities to support the communities we serve across Cook and Lake County. Each day we will highlight a different work of mercy shown by Catholic Charities staff and volunteers every day.

We welcome individuals, families, parishes, schools, and corporations to join!
