We're excited to share the trailer for "Holy Family: A Bridge Between Two Communities," a documentary created in partnership with Chicago History Museum exploring the rich history of Holy Family Ministries and Holy Family Church, our founding congregation. A group of our scholars worked diligently this year as oral historians, bringing this project to life and learning extensively about their school and community along the way. Local screening opportunities coming soon!

Today we had the honor of Mayor Brandon Johnson opening up our annual career day: Our Stories, Our Futures, by sharing his journey from an educator on Chicago’s West Side to the mayor’s office. In his story, our scholars could see reflections of their own and the promise of what lies ahead.

In this 40th anniversary year of Holy Family Ministries, we’re reminded that investing in young people is an act of belief. And today, that belief felt stronger than ever. Thank you to all the guest speakers who came together to inspire the next generation of leaders on Chicago's West Side!

Today our community gathered for Ash Wednesday to prepare our hearts for the Lenten journey ahead. May these 40 days of prayer and reflection draw our scholars closer to God and to one another! 🙏🏾
