Family Mass and Day of Service

Families had the opportunity to sign up for six activities—many of which were from home—such as preparing brown bag lunches, assembling medical and toiletry kits, purchasing college-bound bag items via an Amazon wishlist and delivering lunches and socks at designated locations. Following the virtual Mass, nearly sixty volunteers gathered at Loyola to assemble thirty-three college bound bags and medical & toiletry kits to benefit Loyola’s own Bowman Scholars. 

In addition, over 800 brown bag lunches and 200 socks were delivered to five local charities including Connections for the Homeless in Evanston, Cornerstone Community Outreach in Chicago, The Chicago Help Initiative, Night Ministry in Chicago and The Chapel Community Care Center in Mundelein. Notably, Father McGrath blessed the items before they were delivered.
