Eucharistic Revival

“What the world needs is God’s love; it needs to encounter Christ and to believe in him. The Eucharist is thus the source and summit not only of the Church’s life, but also of her mission.”- Sacramentum Caritatis, #84

Over the next three years, every Catholic diocese, parish, school, apostolate, and family is invited to be a part of renewing the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Throughout the month of April, we will collect paper products, toiletry items, and all soap products for Old South Church Food Pantry. This pantry serves those in need from all around Lake County. Food stamps do not cover household items that we are gathering in this collection. By making them available at the Food Pantry, people in need will have access to consumer goods that we all take for granted in our own homes! Collection bins can be found in the Gathering Area. Thank you for your help in serving those in need!

Young Catholic Moms from our parish are gathering in homes on a monthly basis to discuss a Catholic reading of their choice. Moms can come with or without their children!
