Our 2020 Vision: To Continue to Be a Center of Faith, Hope & Charity in Our Corner of the World

As we continue our 2020 Vision Campaign for St. Hubert Parish, we believe in the future that awaits us – a future we are empowered to do together under the guidance of our God. Having a vision requires looking ahead to see what’s needed. Our faith calls us to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel and to share that good news with others.  It’s to bring hope to others, which we do through loving our neighbor.  The improvements to our campus, and an investment in Catholic education, will help us continue the work of the gospel in our corner of the world.  Our church and school are the result of those who believed in the “future” of our parish years ago.  Their vision has been realized in what we have.  Our vision now is to treasure it and maintain it for years to come.
 
To have faith in God is al so to have faith in people and in the human spirit.  At Mass, when we offer the gifts of bread and wine and our monetary efforts, we are giving back to God the sacrifice of our hard work.  We know that God takes what we give and multiplies it.
 
A Look at the Campaign Case Elements:
This week, we look at the final of the five main areas of need:
 
The Archdiocese of Chicago Campaign:
“To Teach Who Christ Is” Our Archdiocesan Assigned Goal: $670,000 over 5 years.
 
“To Teach Who Christ Is” is a campaign initiated by the Archdiocese of Chicago and has been supported by every parish with one goal: to strengthen Catholic education throughout our Archdiocese. Monies raised through this effort are being used to invest in Catholic schools and religious education programs, such as improving catechesis, maintaining academic excellence, helping economically depressed parishes with critical needs, providing scholarships, and supporting the on-going development and retention of teachers and administrators. As we are members of a greater church community of people thirsting for the good news of our Lord, it is an important responsibility for
St. Hubert to join every parish in the Archdiocese who must participate in this unprecedented campaign. The goal is to teach who Christ is to the next generation and share the gift of our Catholic faith.
 
Pledge Commitment Weekend: October 13 & 14 at all Masses
Next weekend, everyone who has not yet responded to the invitation to participate in our campaign will be invited do so at all Masses during our Campaign Pledge Commitment Weekend. Your response, your generosity, will allow us to address our needs for St. Hubert Parish: School Building fire prevention, School Technology improvements, Parish Ministry Center improvements, Church Lower Level updating and our participation in the Archdiocesan “To Teach Who Christ Is” Campaign. This will allow us to embrace and grow our mission to our parish and the larger community beyond our doors.
