The Bishop Perry Chicago Catholic Men's Forum, originally set for Saturday, April 26, 2025, has been rescheduled to Saturday, May 31st, due to the funeral of Pope Francis. The topic for the Forum discussion is "Holiness in our Ordinary Life" presented by Fr. Ryan Brady, Chicago Priest, Pastor, and Chaplain for the Chicago Fire Department. If you do not have a ticket yet to attend, you can do so, by clicking here or the red button at the bottom of this message. Questions? Email forum@cmcsmen.net
This annual event aims to inspire men's spirituality and strengthen their connections with other men, their families and community, as well as their parish priests, particularly within Vicariate VI of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Throughout the year, Catholic Men Chicago Southland (CMCS) will also focus on enhancing our digital ministry, utilizing online platforms to engage Catholic men throughout the Archdiocese and share the Gospel message. |

Additionally, the Lenten matching gift campaign did not reach its target. A generous CMCS Man has pledged to match every donation made, up to $800. We're continuing this fundraising effort on the event registration page, and kindly ask you prayerfully consider making a donation of any amount, even if you are unable to attend the men's forum.
Thank you for your support. God bless you for all that you do for others. |

[Gift Tally: Gifted $580.00 = $220.00 to go to reach the $800.00 Goal.] |

Once again, as you consider your ability to give, please take into consideration:
At CMCS Apostolate and CMCSMen.net, we face the challenge of operating without financial reserves, relying solely on the goodwill of those we serve. This situation may seem daunting, but it also inspires a unique solution: our dedication to functioning debt-free. We prioritize transparency and efficiency by ensuring that our resources are distributed free of charge, effectively reaching thousands of men within the archdiocese at a minimal cost. With a team of committed volunteers and an annual budget of less than $5,000, we successfully minimize expenses—our director does not draw a salary, and we avoid overhead costs by utilizing home offices. This model not only ensures that every contribution goes directly to serving our community but also exemplifies our trust in God's providence and the generosity of our supporters.
This campaign determines whether we will have the means to continue in 2025. |
