School Annual Fund 

DONATE TODAY 

 The sun will be setting on 2020 and a new year, full of hope, is on the horizon. As you shout your hoorays for the expectations of good things to come in 2021, please also take a moment to reflect on the new found strength and positivity that has come from persevering in a very challenging year.  

At Queen of Angels School, we are counting our blessings. One such blessing is that we have a wonderful new principal who has dedicated herself to the safety of our teachers and students, while keeping the school’s doors open for the option of in-person learning. In addition, our school has developed methods to successfully deliver diverse curricula to our in-person and virtual learners, inclusive of technology, music, and art in the form of social-emotional learning strategies. 

Our technology resources have helped students learn new ways to be organized and keep open the lines of communication with our virtual learners. Further, music and art have provided our students a valuable outlet to express their emotions as they continue to adapt to a new reality. 

 Thank you to our Annual Fund donors whose contributions have helped drive many of the advancements at our school. As we turn to 2021, however, the challenges of 2020 will linger and therefore, your financial support is needed more than ever to continue writing our success story. 

Please consider donating to the Queen of Angels School Annual Fund to support the advancement of technology and the fine arts that tuition alone does not cover. We are thankful for any amount you are able to give. Your gift is tax-deductible and we welcome gift-matching through your employer.  

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

 Please use the direct link above to make a donation or checks may be mailed to: 

Queen of Angels School
c/o Development Office
4520 North Western Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60625 

 If you have questions, please contact Lisa Michalak, Interim Director of Development, at lmichalak@queenofangelschicago.org.

Advent Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered from 7 to 8 p.m. on Monday, December 21 in the church.  Individual confessions will be offered in English or in Spanish.  Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, please register in advance. 

During Advent, take the time to strengthen your desire for personal change as a follower of Christ, to make room for the infant Jesus to be born anew in your heart and to receive his forgiveness and mercy. Those with older children can attend as a family and give witness to one another’s joy as you each receive God’s forgiveness through your confession and absolution.

Confessions will also be available at the regular time on Saturday, December 19, from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.  Please prayerfully consider these opportunities and register if you plan to attend!
