Ball in the Hall Update
We are hard at work on our 2nd Annual Ball in the Hall, and we need your help! We are seeking sports tickets. Are you a season ticket holder for the Bears, the Blackhawks, the White Sox, Cubs, or Bulls, or do you know someone who is? Would you consider donating some tickets to be used as an auction prize? We can even provide you with documentation so you can claim it as a charitable donation on your taxes. Please call the Parish Office at 708-895-6700 to donate or for more information. School families will receive a volunteer hour for donating!
Ball in the Hall is March 5th. This is a MAJOR fundraiser for the school; your assistance is greatly appreciated.
