Young Families - First Outing is June 29!  
 
ATTENTION YOUNG FAMILIES!!
 
We are planning a new Young Family Group at Assumption. If you are a family with children under the age of 10 and are interested in joining, we’d love to hear from you. Please email AYF@assumption-chgo.org to express interest. We’ll follow up to learn more of what you would like to see within this group.
 
For our debut event, we will meet in the Garden after the 10:30 Mass on June 29 and walk over to Ward Park (a ten minute walk) for playtime and for conversation at the playground. We will plan events after other Masses to accommodate all families.
 
Prayer Walk - June 29  
 

The Evangelization Team invites you to a Parish Prayer Walk on Sunday, June 29 after the 10:30 Mass. Prayer Walks are a centuries-old tradition that merge walking with prayer and contemplation of God’s presence in the world. The walk will take approximately 45 minutes, traveling 1.3 miles or 3000 steps and involves crossing streets and walking up and down stairs. We will begin in the Garden and walk to three different locations nearby to pray and reflect on various intentions. Join the group for some fun, spiritual  exercise!

 
Independence Day  
 

On Friday, July 4, Independence Day, Mass will be offered at 7:30 and 10:30. Come and pray for our country, that we may always live up to the vision our ancestors left us.

 
Baptism Preparation Session  
 

Our next preparation session for parents (and, if possible, godparents) of infants to be baptized is Monday, August 4, at the Rectory. Sessions are from 7:00 to 8:15pm.  These sessions are for first time parents and for parents who have never before attended a preparation session. Call the Parish Office to register. It is not necessary to wait for the baby to be born to attend a preparation session. Baptisms normally take place on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 1:15pm and on the first weekend of the month during Mass. More here
