During Lent we will once again focus our almsgiving on supporting the work of Hope for Haitians. Based in the Rockford diocese, this charity serves the poorest of the poor in Northeast Haiti. Your gifts this Lent will be joined with the gifts from other Catholic faithful in our diocese and be transformed into homes, clean water, and an opportunity for self-sufficiency for 50 families in Northeast Haiti.
There are boxes available in the Gathering Space for your donations or donate online by clicking the button below.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Confession or Penance, is a beautiful expression of the infinite mercy and love that God has for all of us. This is where we find that reconnection--reconciliation--with God and with our neighbor. We hope that you take advantage of this wonderful Sacrament; no mater how long it has been since your last confession it is never too late to experience the healing and forgiveness of God.
