Mission in Action

Can you spare some of your time, treasure and talent with AGLO Outreach?

You can put your faith into action by being OUT in the world helping underserved communities we are called by the Gospel to serve. AGLO works with our partner parishes and other agencies to serve the most vulnerable among us. 

Our next Mission in Action day is on Sunday, July 6 starting at 10:30 am. Volunteers are needed to help with Holy Name Cathedral’s Cabrini Ministry for immigrants. We will accompany families during a mass in Spanish and then distribute food, clothing and other items. Spanish speakers are needed but all help is appreciated. Set up and food prep starts at 10:30 am, mass and distribution of goods begins at 2:30 pm. Come for a part or stay for the whole day. Register on the form on this page or contact [email protected] for more information.

AGLO has been partnering with Our Lady of Mount Carmel to spend mornings at The Mission of Our Lady of Angels, working hard helping to hand out food, clothing, toys and home goods for the community. Thank you to Sister Stephanie and the Franciscans of the Eucharist at the Mission of our Lady of the Angels for their warm welcome. 

AGLO again provided a Hospitality Booth at Northalsted Market Days on August 10-11. Volunteers handed out 1500 bottles of water and snacks to hot and tired eventgoers and provided cool shade for the weary -- including tired puppies. It is exciting to see our mission of accompaniment and discipleship come to fruition in such a meaningful way.

We want to thank everyone who helped to make this year's hospitality booth a success!
