8. Many families in our parish may have already received the Annual Catholic Appeal mailing from Cardinal Cupich. On behalf of those served by the ministries of the parishes and schools that receive funding from the Appeal, we thank you for your gifts. The Annual Catholic Appeal offers us an opportunity to join with others and affirm that “together we bring light.” As we consider God’s many gifts to us, we ask that you pray and reflect that gratitude by using and sharing those gifts. Your financial support for the work of our parish, our archdiocese, and the Church throughout the world is one way to express that gratitude. We are working towards our goal of $28,000.  Forms can be found in church or you may donate online: annualcatholicapeal.com .  To make an online gift, please select St. William Parish. Thank you for generosity and support. 

​

Thank you for fostering a prayerful environment for everyone!
