The Archdiocese of Chicago instituted the Christifideles Award to celebrate the inspiring stories of faith that arise from our continued devotion to Christ.  

This year’s recipient of the Christifideles Award is Lou Storino. This award is given to a parishioner whose faith is expressed within their everyday actions toward their neighbor. The person to whom this award is given is a faith filled volunteer who goes above and beyond in regard to service of others within the parish and outside our parish walls. Lou Storino has certainly proven worthy of this prestigious award. Lou serves on the School Board, the Parish Pastoral Council and the Evangelization Team. He has also volunteered as a host or helper for several seasons of Alpha. Lou is the leader of the Men’s Spirituality Group as well. Lou and his family attended the award ceremony last weekend at Holy Name Cathedral where he was honored for his incredible commitment to his faith. You will see Lou and his wife Anaa and daughters, Katarina and Mariana at mass every weekend. When you see Lou at church please be sure to congratulate him.
