Christ is Risen!
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
beloved parishioners and friends of Immaculate Conception parish,
With great joy in this bright Paschal season, I write to invite you to take part in a mission of love, hope, and growth. Our St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy has just launched Share 2025—our annual appeal to support the life and mission of our Church in the western United States.
This is more than just a fundraiser. It is a way for us to build up the Body of Christ. Your gift—no matter the size—makes a real difference. It helps to sustain our parishes, support our clergy, educate our youth, and bring the Good News to places still waiting to hear it.
In this season when we celebrate the victory of life over death, we are reminded of Christ’s gift for us—and we are invited to respond with generous hearts. Now is the time to give back. Let us show our love for our Eparchy and help our Church family grow and flourish.
Attached to this message, you will find Bishop Benedict’s heartfelt letter and a pamphlet explaining how your contribution will help.
You can support Share 2025 in any of the following ways:
– Through our Eparchy’s website – https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/StNicholasDioceseinChicagofor/chicagougcc.html
– Using the donation envelopes arriving by mail
– Or by placing your gift in the donation box at church, marked “Share 2025”
I ask you to pray for the success of this appeal, and for all who labor with love in our Eparchy’s ministries. May your kindness return to you a hundredfold.
With gratitude and joy in the Risen Christ,
Fr. Roman Bobesiuk
