Renew My Church grouping gathers to help the poor
An annual Thanksgiving project in which Old St. Pat's parishioners donated and packed food Nov. 18 for Thanksgiving dinner for dozens of families in North Lawndale was one of several efforts undertaken by parishes in downtown Chicago in November as part of their efforts to observe the Nov. 18 World Day of the Poor. The five parishes — Old St. Patrick’s; Holy Name Cathedral, 735 N. State St., Old St. Mary’s, 1500 S. Michigan Ave.; St. Peter’s in the Loop, 110 W. Madison St.; and Assumption, 323 W. Illinois St. — decided to collaborate after being grouped together for Renew My Church.
