On March 8th Fr. Pfleger spoke to Holy Family as part of our Lenten Project. Fr. Pfleger told his story and the stories of many young men who have turned their lives around thanks to the Strong Futures Program.
For our 2018 Lenten Project we are joining Cardinal Cupich’s Anti-Violence initiative (endorsed by Pope Francis) targeting vulnerable, at risk youth in Chicago’s most troubled neighborhoods.

Our contributions will support two highly successful local programs: Strong Futures on the south side of Chicago, and The Peace Corner Youth Center on the west side.
