Father's Day
Project Love, the charitable division of Illinois Citizens for Life, invites parishes or pro-life committees to distribute Father’s Day Cards a few weeks prior to Father's Day. As a fundraiser, parishioners make a donation to Project Love in honor of their dad, and they receive a beautiful Father's Day card. The card reflects the message that a donation has been made in their honor to Project Love. All proceeds go to support pregnant women and new mothers in a financial crisis. For more information or a copy of the cards, please e-mail Eileen at jmcgleam@hotmail.com or call her at (630) 963-8039. |
