St. Alphonsus Safe Families for Children Ministry

St. Alphonsus Safe Families for Children Ministry Welcome to the St. Alphonsus Catholic Church (Chicago)'s official Safe Families for Children Ministry page! St. Want to get involved? Reach out!

Alphonsus is partnering with the Christian nonprofit "Safe Families for Children", which connects local families in crisis with local "safe families" who volunteer to watch their children while parents get back on their feet. This is a great opportunity to show Christ's love and compassion for local families, often young single moms with no support system, in a tangible and meaningful way.

- 75%

of children placed are under the age of 6 years old.

- Over 93% of children return to their parents or a relative that is identified to take over. [email protected]

Save the date to be part of a gathering at Rate Field on Saturday, June 14 to celebrate the election of Pope Leo XIV!

We have been touched by the outpouring of good wishes from all who, like Pope Leo XIV, call Chicago home and particularly from people beyond our faith community who heard his call for peace. We hope you will join us for this festive occasion. More details will be announced in the coming week.

May God bless Pope Leo XIV and may the Holy Spirit draw all of us together to pray for him now and throughout his papacy.

Rest in Peace Pope Francis, champion of the poor 🙏❤️
“When the votes reached two-thirds, there was the usual applause, because the pope had been elected. And he gave me a hug and a kiss and said: 'Don't forget the poor!' And those words came to me: the poor, the poor. Then, right away, thinking of the poor, I thought of Francis of Assisi. Then I thought of all the wars, as the votes were still being counted, till the end. Francis is also the man of peace. That is how the name came into my heart: Francis of Assisi. ... How I would like a Church which is poor and for the poor!" - Francis, speaking to journalists on March 16, 2013, recounting how Cardinal Claudio Hummes gave him the idea of choosing the name Francis.”
