Baby Bottle Fundraiser - October 5-6, 2019
Beginning the weekend of October 5-6, our parish will be participating in Saint Pascal’s Baby Bottle Project benefiting two worthwhile non-profits: The Women’s Centers of Greater Chicagoland and Aid For Women. The Women’s Center directly assists mothers and families experiencing crisis pregnancies by offering emotional, financial, material, and spiritual support through counseling, clothing and monetary provisions, prayer, and other aid at their three facilities in Chicago, Evergreen Park and Des Plaines. Aid for Women offers material, educational, and spiritual help to women who find themselves in unexpected or difficult pregnancies at any one of their five locations in the Chicago-land area along with offering long-term help with housing at two homes, Heather's House in Des Plaines and Monica's House which is located on the Saint Pascal campus.
Please take a Baby Bottle home with you from the church on October 5 or 6, fill it with your spare change, and return it the weekend of October 26-27. Thank you for helping defend life, and remember to keep all pro-life undertakings in your prayers. If you are making a donation by check, please make it payable to Saint Pascal Church-Baby Bottle Project.

Eucharistic Adoration - Thursdays
Each Thursday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Saint Pascal hosts the place for quiet reflection - Eucharistic Adoration in Church. The purpose of Eucharistic Adoration is to give every Catholic an opportunity to spend time with our Eucharistic Lord present in the Blessed Sacrament. Everyone is welcome and invited to spend some time on Thursdays for 5 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour or more if so desired. It calms one’s soul, brings peace to one’s heart and deepens one’s relationship with the Lord. Making time with Jesus may be the gift you can give yourself.
ParishSoft - Connecting People and the Church
Our parish families now have an opportunity to update personal information on our database ParishSoft. Along with this opportunity, families will also be able to view their contributions, print tax letters (when they become available, saving the parish postage during tax season!). Families may choose to upload pictures too. All additions or changes are reviewed and approved by parish staff members.
Along with the above features, ministers (Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers of Holy Communion, Altar Servers and Ushers) can communicate the dates they are available to serve, when they will be out of town, and view their schedule or their children’s schedules.
Register today by logging on to ParishSoft by clicking on the "Parish Soft" button on the right side of this page. New parishioners can also register through ParishSoft. If you have any questions, please call the parish office at 773-725-7641.
