We were blessed with a beautiful day to unload 393 mums and sort the orders for our 96 marvelous customers.
This year proceeds will be going to the Living Well Cancer Resource Center in Geneva, Illinois.
It was a beautiful evening to get together outside and catch-up. Our 2021-2022 officers were installed and we discussed plans for August and September. Lots going on as you can see from the Upcoming Events section to your right.
Over 130 golfers spent a glorious day on Elgin Country Club course. Several of our ladies participated (both as golfers and support team) on July 19th! We assisted with registration
and raffles. As always, this is a wonderful event to show our support for the Knights as well as the mission in promoting the sacredness of life at all stages!
Thank you, Charity Davis, for putting together our Coffee and Tea basket raffle donation. The total Corbella Clinic donation will be announced at their Celebration Dinner in September.
1000W Commercial Microwave
The Ladies Auxiliary donated the funds necessary to replace the Women & Children Day Center’s microwave that was moved into the Emergency Shelter.
Their mission is to offer guests connected to our communities, who are homeless or in need, hope for the future by providing hospitality, food, safe shelter, and education — tools for life. They give people a hand up, not a hand out, and strive to make certain that all who enter feel the love of Jesus.
Mermaids, trucks and dinosaurs, oh my! Playful patterns on the 8 hand-tied blankets donated to Corbella’s Baby Boutique. These are cozy blankets for babies to lay on for tummy time, machine wash/dry and last forever.
Additionally, the Ladies Auxiliary has set aside $300 for our annual diaper donation. We’re delighted to support Corbella and their clients Loving the Next Generation into Life.
Clinic clients participating in Corbella’s Prenatal & Parenting Education Program earn Baby Bucks toward free mother and baby material assistance including clothing, diapers, formula, blankets, toys and larger items such as Pack and Plays, car seats and strollers.
Sunday, December 13 was a special day for 80+ children who got to see and hear Santa from afar after the Crane Road 8 am and 9:30 am masses.

Four members took advantage of the beautiful weather on November 17, 2020, National Take a Hike Day, to explore and enjoy Johnson’s Mound loop trail. This .9 mile trail is paved, has 91 feet elevation gain (the mound) and is rated easy. While this setting is beautiful in Spring and Fall, it is equally as beautiful now as we begin Advent on Sunday, November 29th.
For you, O Lord, my soul in stillness waits,
Truly my hope is in you.
O Lord of Light, our only hope of glory,
Your radiance shines in all who look to you,
Come, light the hearts of all in dark and shadow. (Refrain)
O Spring of Joy, rain down upon our spirits,
Our thirsty hearts are yearning for your Word,
Come, make us whole, be comfort to our hearts. (Refrain)
O Root of Life, implant your seed within us,
And in your advent draw us all to you,
Our hope reborn in dying and in rising. (Refrain)
O Key of Knowledge, guide us in our pilgrimage,
We ever seek, yet unfulfilled remain,
Open to us the pathway of your peace. (Refrain)
Lyrics by Marty Haugen
To the over 70 parishioners, community friends and volunteers. We are pleased to split these proceeds 4 ways to help fund needed relief during the pandemic.
Pick-up day was a terrific day of friendly smiles (even though you couldn’t see them), nature’s beauty and a warm sunset.
