Pastoral care and family support
Sometimes what we need most is someone to listen. A priest or volunteer can walk with you through grief, illness, family separation or a time of distress, in your language and in private.
We also guide families to housing, health, school and job resources in Chicago, and we pray for every intention you entrust to us.
