Support my efforts as part of Team OLA 2025!

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

If you know me, you've probably heard about the summer I spent living and working with the sisters at OLA during college. I got to see their work up close, and their dedication to the West Humboldt Park community continues to inspire me to this day. The Mission provides material and spiritual support to a neighborhood that faces many challenges, from poor access to fresh food to lack of economic opportunity to violent crime. The Mission feeds about 4,400 families a month and provides additional material and pastoral support to families, youth, and senior citizens. You can learn more info about the Mission at www.missionola.com.

Funds raised from Team OLA 2025 will be used to:

(1) Help the Mission expand its food pantry + other material distributions

-Mission of Our Lady of the Angels currently serves about 4,400 families a month - and growing!

-Help the Mission continue to expand and improve this outreach. 

(2) Help the Mission renovate an additional convent for more sisters!

-We need a separate convent for our young sisters in formation

-This renovation project is essential to the future expansion of our material and spiritual outreach. Additional details about the project will be released once they are available!

Donate today to be part of the miracle that is TEAM OLA!

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