Support Mission of Our Lady of the Angels!

I'm running the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon to support Mission of Our Lady of the Angels! 

Mission of Our Lady of the Angels exists to provide material and spiritual support to W. Humboldt Park, Chicago- one of the most challenged neighborhoods in the US. The Mission feeds about 4400 families a month; provides additional material and pastoral support to families, youth, and senior citizens; and, most importantly, brings the love of Christ to a neighborhood desperately in need of hope. Read more at www.missionola.com.

Funds raised from Team OLA 2024 will be used to:

  1. Help the Mission expand its food pantry and other material distributions
  2. Help the Mission renovate an additional convent for our young sisters in formation

The Mission is a 501(c)(3) and relies entirely on the donations of private donors.

We host community meals about once a month. We invite our neighbors to pray and share a meal with us. It has been a beautiful way to help our broken community be a little more united each time we come together.
