We Want To Hear From You! |
Have you completed our 10-minute survey yet? It's easier than you think! Our goal is to get at least 600 responses: 350 weekly mass attendees and 250 school families. All members of a family, ages 14 and up, parishioners and non-parishioners are invited to weigh in.
The survey is only available until March 31. If you prefer a paper copy, stop by the Parish Office, or contact Sean O’Dea.
There are questions about service, spiritual growth, even mass times! If you have an opinion, this is your chance to voice it! If you are so happy you wouldn't change a thing, please let us know that too. All responses are confidential and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole.
We will receive the results this spring/summer at which time we will share what we have learned with the entire parish. Thank you for helping St. Josaphat Parish!

Thank You! From Precious Blood Ministry of Reconciliation
Our 2023 Unity Award recipient, Precious Blood Ministry of Reconciliation, received recognition at our Feb 24th Unity Gala. The following is a note of gratitude from PBMR Executive Director, Fr. David Kelly:
Fr. Francis, Thanks for your support and this gift. It was good to be with your community! Your gift of $10,000 is greatly appreciated, and allows us to dream dangerously together about what is possible for the future of the young people, families, and returning citizens who have become part of our family. Thank you for being part of this PBMR community that we all love. ~ Fr. Dave

Thank you for your generosity to our Annual Catholic Appeal
Last year, our goal was $47,493.67, and we raised $72,250.00. Of the $24,756.33 over our goal, $1,465.63 is being used to support parishes and schools who are suffering significant financial hardship. $15,630.70 was deposited to our parish account last November, and $7,650.00 was deposited to our parish account in the beginning of this month. This year's goal was $46,301.91 and we received news from the Cardinal that we have exceeded this target. The Archdiocese of Chicago thanks you!
