The Vocations Office for the Archdiocese of Chicago has begun an award to acknowledge high school aged young men who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and ministry in the Church. The Carlos Acutis award is given annually at Mundelein Seminary. We are proud to announce that Holy Family’s initial recipient of this award is Jimmy Lau. Jimmy attends Barrington High School. He plays volleyball as well as violin in the school orchestra. Jimmy’s extensive involvement at Holy Family includes being a Peer Minister, guiding younger teens in the Confirmation preparation process. He is a Proclaimer and a Eucharistic Minister. He has been a Kairos Retreat Leader and has been very involved in our Fanning the Flame program for high school juniors and seniors. He also leads two different programs for Christian teens at Barrington High School, encouraging athletes to reflect on and incorporate faith into sports. Perhaps
