We congratulate our parents and families, whose child was welcomed into the new life of Baptism. May God protect this little one, reborn into the Family of God.
MISSION STATEMENT
We are the Family of St. Gerald-
People of God, brought together in the
Eucharist as the Body of Christ. We gather as
sisters and brothers with the Lord, welcoming
and inviting others to journey with us to
become more like Christ. We strive for
spiritual fulfillment by building a community
of love and service.

A message from Father Rich LoBianco, National Director of Chalice US
“Hello to all of your wonderful Saint Gerald Family. Mother Theresa, now Saint
Theresa, once said "you can do no great things, only little things with great love" In
this moment, with so many struggling, loving each other takes on an even greater
ur-gency at Christmas, especially for our Chalice kids and families we are privileged to
serve
Whenever I have asked anything of you, you've always responded with great
gen-erosity, and this year the need is more urgent than ever. Help us fill their stockings
and make the real Christmas happen for those we serve across our world by gifting
them with items from our
Chalice Christmas Catalog
.
This year our goal is "
20 in 2020":
$20,000 in life-changing gifts and donations
from our
Chalice Christmas Catalog
(find it online at
www.chaliceus.org/christmas-catalog) and 20 more of our children receiving the gift of education from new
spon-sors that will keep giving their entire lives, and material resources to bring our families
a better life.
Find more joy for yourself for your own heart and spread the warmth and cheer
and love of our Savior across our world. Thank you and may God bless you and keep
you safe.
All of us here at our Chalice US Team wish you and all you love a merry and
bright Christmas.”
In order to add a person’s name to our Pray for the sick
list-ing, the person that is ill or a relative must call. Please call the
office at 708 422-0234 to add the name of the person that is ill.
We will keep the names of the sick for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks
we will clear the list. If you want to add yourself or a loved one
on again please call the office.

Please fill out this form and return to the parish office. We will try and honor as best we can the dates and times you have requested, and if not possible, will assign the closest available date.
