40 Days of Kindness is our parish Lenten journey of putting faith into action through simple, intentional acts of kindness. As we prepare for this sacred season, now is the time to reflect on how we will observe Lent this year and how we will respond to Jesus’ call.

This Lent, we reflect on the Beatitudes and Jesus’ call to be salt and light by looking closely at our daily relationships with family, neighbors, and strangers. Through prayerful awareness of these relationships, we are invited to live our faith in concrete and meaningful ways.

Throughout Lent, parishioners are encouraged to practice as many acts of kindness as possible, from small gestures to meaningful service. Each week offers a new kindness theme to inspire action, and our shared progress reminds us that even simple acts can create lasting impact and change attitudes.

But it is never too early to be kind. Think about what acts of kindness you might choose to practice this Lent. Click the link above for example actions and consider starting now.

Interfaith Competition I attended St. James Grammar School in Arlington Heights.  We had very good basketball teams, of which I was an active participant.  Our arch rival was Our Lady of the Wayside, also in Arlington Heights.  Both schools are members of the same athletic conference that our students here at Holy Family compete in. I am sure they have similar rivalries. It sounds very strong, but we hated Wayside (as we called them).  The truth is that, as good as we were, Wayside actually was a bit better.  We had many heated and highly contentious games, most of which they won. Sports has a tendency to accentuate rivalries on a number of levels, but the Catholic parochial competition has always intrigued me.  In my grammar school experience, we were both Catholic schools, we were both in Arlington Heights, we were both Christian, but somehow, we had such disdain for

We need YOUR voice!

Conversations in the Spirit is a prayerful, communal process of discernment based on the ancient tradition of synodality, which means “walking together.” It involves deep listening, shared reflection, and openness to the Holy Spirit to guide group discussions.

As part of Holy Family Parish’s growth initiative, a Movement of Growth Leadership Team—along with sub-committees for each objective—will use this process to engage parishioners through guided conversations. Each group will reflect on specific questions related to parish growth goals. The insights gathered will shape a strategic plan for the parish’s future direction.
