St. Sabina holds annual service day in Auburn-Gresham

Over 400 parishioners volunteered for St. Sabina Parish’s annual service day July 31, 2021 to feed the homeless, barbecue for Chicago police and fire personnel, clean vacant lots and plant flowers in pots along 79th Street as part of a beautification project. They also held a concert at Cook County Jail, fed seniors, gardened, painted a mural, hosted a pet food giveaway and performed random acts of kindness. (Karen Callaway/Chicago Catholic)
