The Little Sisters of the Poor from St. Joseph’s Home for the Aged in Palatine will be at the Masses at St. Mary Immaculate on the weekend of September 13th and 14th to share information about our mission, which is to welcome the neediest elderly, regardless of race or religion, into our home as we would welcome Christ, and care for them as family until the moment when Our Lord calls them to himself.  There will be a second collection to support the work of St. Joseph’s Home.

Amen
