One of the important lessons handed on to me problem of homelessness among students in North from Fr. John Cusick that I’ve always treasured and Lawndale. I try desperately to remember is this: “when you’re looking out into the assembly on Sunday, don’t Our campaign and the overwhelming generosity presume everyone is a regular and don’t presume of the people of Old St. Patrick’s allowed us to everyone knows what you’re talking about!” He’s buy a two-$at building in the neighborhood and right.

What is it about the quiet that invites us deeper – the darkness that wraps herself around us or the stillness that urges us to ponder? No doubt about it, something about the quiet calls us home.

“Come inside,” she whispers. “Come rekindle the !re.”

Join us for a women’s weekend of renewal in the midst of the city. We will pause together at the Cenacle Retreat House just minutes from Lake Michigan to assess our spiritual homes, consider opportunities for our own spiritual makeovers and strengthen our foundations. Together, we’ll pray ourselves into a new creation in anticipation of the coming Easter season.

We as a Community have spent one full trip around the sun discovering whom our neighbors actually are and in turn loving on them!

Jesus has commanded us to “love our neighbors as ourselves” and in response, Outreach has:

Loved the homeless residents of the House of Mary & Joseph Shelter by working with the 4th graders of FXWS to collect linens and toiletries. We took a road trip to the shelter where we learned first hand about the homeless.

Loved folks with disabilities by helping host the Special Friends Mass, commissioning Trinity Volunteer Corps in Church, and every Wednesday afternoon working with the team to do special projects for OSP.

Loved our Sharing Parish of St. Agatha’s by hosting a Thanksgiving food drive through S.P.O.K.E.S. and sorted and distributed food for 150+ families in need.

Loved on the poor of Marillac House this past Easter again with Easter baskets, brunch, and shared camaraderie and joy.

Loved our corporate neighbors in the West Loop by working with new partners who want to give back to the marginalized and the poor by offering them opportunities to get involved.

The abundance of former Foundations teens who return as leaders is evidence enough. - Eoin Murphy Being my !rst Worktour, I was so glad I was able to make so many friends, make new experiences, and have an amazing time. Through our service of the marginalized, I saw God in each person we served. Through their happiness and love, this Worktour allowed me to we we are all one people, brothers and sisters united in love and joy. - Brody Hanlon On this Worktour, I interacted with tons of people who needed and deserved our help. We all impacted others in some way, and they de!nitely a"ected us in amazing ways. - Kendall Pollard Being able to work face to face with people to help them was very refreshing. This was my favorite service trip I have done and the group here bonded very well. - Quinn Anderson My Cincinnati Worktour really made the people who went on it really close. It was a blast and I hope to have more fun on my next Worktour. - Bob Greenlees All the people on this trip just clicked, and all the friendships ensured that this trip will last a long time. I surely saw God in all my friends. - Will Carl This was my !rst and last Worktour and I regret not having gone sooner. I would have to say that week was the closest I have ever been to God in my life. - Ryan Kissel This Worktour we were able to serve people on a more personal level. This provided not only a great service experience but also a great learning experience we don’t often get. The people I encountered on this Worktour certainly changed me as a person and inspired me to help those in need much more often. - Molly Madden The week our group spent in Cincinnati has impacted me in a way nothing has before. The bonds we’ve made will never be never be broken, and I hope the memories will never fade away. God showed himself in so many di"erent ways over the week, and I can’t wait to share my experiences with more! - Maeve Healy I was blessed to be a foundations teen myself and this was my !rst Worktour as an adult leader. It was truly amazing to witness an incredible group of teens come together and not only build new friendships but help those in need in the process. - Marisa Martens I am so incredibly grateful to the OSP community for supporting Foundations as we go on Worktour. I will truly never forget my experiences, in particular: volunteering at stepping-stones, a camp for children with disabilities. I was able to connect with the kids, especially Trenton when I spun him around in the pool and saw pure joy on his face. - Moira Irwin Worktour is very di"erent on every single trip. This week, we were devoted to directly serving others less fortunate than many of us at Old St. Pat’s. My highlight was working with kids with di"erent intellectual and physical disabilities and seeing the friendships we built within one day. - Drew Heinig In Cincinnati this week, we had the opportunity to truly encounter our brothers and sisters through service. We not only saw the faces of poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, and special needs but we spoke with them, learned their stories, and shared a bit of God’s love. - Ryan Malawy Being able to go on Worktour has changed my life for the better. Opportunities like these are very rare. God is so present on these trips, it is quite the blessing. - Erin Doherty The service I did in Cincinnati impacted me in a manner greater than ever before. The face-to-face service, including soup kitchen work, helping people experiencing homelessness shop for groceries, and working at inner city summer camps, shone a light on how fortunate I am to grow up with such a privileged life. The work I did on this trip will stay with me forever. - Leni Bryan The Cincinnati Worktour is by miles the best Worktour there has ever been. Tau House, the parish we stayed within, was extremely generous in letting us into their home, and they are the ones who really made this trip shine. We’ve had such an amazing time here in Cincinnati, and I want another week here! - Jack Gubbins

6 visit us at oldstpats.org I am truly grateful for the opportunity to experience Worktour in Cincinnati. I was especially moved by the Tau House, their mission, and the way they structured our trip. I couldn’t have foundations asked for a more spiritually enriching experience. - Alex Patton-Van Buskirk Foundations changed my life 10 years ago as a teen and has done so again this year as an adult. Without question, it is not hyperbole to say Foundations and Old St. Pat's has been the greatest force for good in my life. Experiencing the Cincinnati Worktour with our Foundations teens has only codi!ed this strongly held belief. - Brian Jerger This week in Cincinnati has been very in"uential in my daily life, how I perceive others, and what changes need to be made in society. I am trying to incorporate much more simplicity into my life, and we need to !ght for society in lower-income neighborhoods. - Lara Villano I have been leading Worktour trips for 8 years, and every one is special, but this trip in Cincinnati brought a unique experience to life. 23 of us came together to serve the second most impoverished city in the country. We leave the city in a bit better shape, and all the better individually. - John Doheny

I’ve grown up watching friends and family go on Worktour. I’ve been looking forward to it for what feels like my whole life. I’ve heard stories and traditions second and third hand, but as I look around the room of my phenomenal Worktourmates, I realize that none of that could have prepared me. The deep community we’ve formed this last week is something that I can share as my own stories. I thank the OSP community from the bottom of my heart for the support of Foundations and Worktour and the space we have to make these memories. - Sheila Murphy

campaign corner campaign Journey Forward and Phoenix Hall Updates

The Journey Forward Campaign began in 2014 with a bold vision of impacting people through meaningful outreach, impacting our mission by transforming the Rectory into a ministry center, and impacting the future by performing immediate campus enhancements and building an endowment fund to preserve and enhance Old St. Patrick’s Church for generations to come.

1. Impacting People

Together, we committed to providing new and expanded outreach to our homeless sisters and brothers, through Old St. Pat’s social concerns’ ministries. With your extraordinary investments, we purchased a home in North Lawndale – now known as Phoenix Hall – to provide transitional housing to teens experiencing homelessness. A committed group of Old St. Pat’s members and community volunteers created an independent nonpro!t, Empower to Succeed, to shepherd this initiative in partnership with The Night Ministry and North Lawndale College Prep. As of this writing,

• Phoenix Hall is fully occupied , housing eight students and providing them with the wrap-around support they need to succeed in school;

• Six of those students graduated from high school. Four will attend four-year colleges or universities in the Fall and two will attend two-year colleges with the intent to transfer to a four year college or university.

• We’ve launched volunteer engagement opportunities at Phoenix Hall for Old St. Pat’s members. To learn more, please visit oldstpats.org/volunteer- opportunities-at-phoenix-hall or see page 13.

Phoenix Hall resident and recent North Lawndale College Prep graduate Divahna Sullivan re"ects on what housing stability at Phoenix Hall and its many supports meant to her.

Being able to share my story is something I can honestly say I'm proud of. I can say it loudly without worrying about the dirt and negative emotions I felt during my homeless period. My mother always told me, "Education is our only gateway out of anything as African American women." And still to this day, I heed those wise words. My education path to my current plans are very vital. Even though my attendance wasn't the best through my high school career, I never passed a grade with anything less than a 3.0 GPA. I graduated from NLCP with a !nal 4.67 gpa for my second semester. As I am transitioning through adulthood, I will be attending Western Illinois University. I will be majoring in Psychology, and furthering my path in the "Women in Sciences" living-learning community. I plan on getting my masters degree and also volunteering to help homeless youth.

Chances are you’ve experienced the beauty and corner campaign functionality of the Ministry Center yourself since its completion. Through your generosity, we performed a complete rehab of the building, to restore its structural integrity and enhance its safety. In addition to providing residence to Fr. Hurley and visiting priests, we’ve welcomed hundreds of new members over the past year as they attended monthly dinners with Fr. Hurley and our wonderful hospitality volunteers. We’ve held intimate, special masses in the Fr. Dan Cantwell Chapel, and our music ministry enjoys its rehearsal space. We’ve held sponsor dinners prior to Deck the Hall, and small groups use the spaces for fellowship.

3. Impacting the Future

The Journey Forward Campaign also aimed to fund necessary immediate enhancements, and to build an endowment fund to preserve and enhance Old St. Patrick’s Church and campus for generations to come. With your support, we renovated the church hall with new "oors and lighting, new bathrooms, a new kitchen, and a new bride’s room. We also installed a new HVAC system and energy-e$cient lighting in the church, refurbished the sanctuary "oors and stained glass windows, and made improvements to acoustics and the church façade.

As part of the campaign, we pledged to begin funding our endowment in FY21 and we have earmarked $1.4 million for that purpose. This endowment fund, along with the support of Crossroads Circle members and donors to the Old St. Pat’s Preservation Trust, will help preserve and protect our landmark church and historic campus for years to come.

We are so grateful to everyone who has so generously contributed to The Journey Forward! If you have questions regarding your pledge, please contact Molly Galo at [email protected] or 312.798.2355.

Sun, July 21 Risking HOPE! Speaker: Terry Nelson-Johnson

I heard some one say recently that we are living during an era when Hope is Fragile. Somewhat sadly, this resonated with me ---- I do think that Hope is a bit fragile these days. So . . . what better time to Gather Together and Risk Hope! Let's get together and remind each other that, while seemingly fragile, Hope is also fierce and resilient and bold and surprising ---- and that it emerges from the most unlikely sources at the most unlikely times -- and that Hope seems so much more accessible when we gather and laugh and sing and tell stories . . . . And DANCE. Please make the effort to join us as, together, we RISK HOPE. Won't be the same with out you -- literally.

Old St. Pat's own Terry Nelson-Johnson will be speaking. His art is the written and spoken word. Through storytelling, poetry, and humor, Terry challenges us to enter more deeply into the mystery of grace, the mystery of spirit, the mystery of God. He speaks to communities around the country and writes for local and national publications. He is Resident Theologian and Animator of Faith here at Old St. Pat’s.

Sunday, Aug 4 Promoting a Culture of Encounter: Pope Francis and the Social Gospel Speaker: Rachelle Kramer

In his landmark document, The Joy of the Gospel , Pope Francis writes, “Many try to escape from others and take refuge in the comfort of their privacy or in a small circle of close friends, renouncing the realism of the social aspect of the gospel… Meanwhile, the Gospel tells us constantly to run the risk of a face-to-face encounter with others, with their physical presence which challenges us, with their pain and their pleas.” From the beginning of his papacy, Pope Francis has championed the poor and marginalized and called us to do the same. And yet, his message is not new to the Catholic Church. This session will highlight the pope’s teachings on the Social Gospel and will provide the foundations from which it is based: Scripture, the life of the early church, and Catholic social teaching.

The entire process was enjoyable and highly successful, attracting 75 young, polite, and engaged participants, 21 event support volunteers from Old St. Patrick's that included eight alumni from the University of Notre Dame who served as coaches, and a few very happy spectator parents and grandparents as well. This year the additional goal of drawing in some 5th - 8th grade young neighbors from Old St. Patrick's will elevate the virtue of kinship to an even higher level if there is a good response.

Please support this summer's youth basketball skills clinics To DONATE, VOLUNTEER, or REGISTER a young participant, go to returning to North Lawndale after a highly successful four week Trust The Process, II Interest Form at bit.ly/trusttheprocesstwo run in 2018.
