I have been a teacher for almost 40 years, and my heart has always been with young people...especially those with limited opportunities due to poverty and marginalization. In my first year of teaching at 22, I saw firsthand how migrant families in California lived and worked.
In honor of Lent/Easter, in celebration of young people, and in recognition of an inspirational youth leader and Claretian priest, I wish to help raise funds for the Our Lady of Guadalupe Claretian Youth Group in South Chicago.
A generous donor has just launched a $5,000 Match Challenge for this fundraiser. Every donation will be doubled until the $5,000 match is complete. Your gift can have twice the impact for these young people.
This will create new learning and social opportunities, such as visits to college campuses and other institutions. Your support can offer Youth Group members opportunities to visit museums and theaters, attend cultural events like symphonies; experiencing places that bring new perspectives.
This rapidly growing group is just one of the ministries of an inspired Claretian and my brother in Christ, Fr Byron Macias, CMF, whom I admire and respect. Starting with an old, vacant building, this inspirational missionary created a beautiful, inviting, safe space for young people, welcoming all who enter. Now, through your generosity, these youth have hope for opportunities to spread their wings with funds enough to introduce them to a world beyond their community and all too familiar poverty and marginalization, to discover a world of culture, education, and equity.
You can build bridges to their hearts with just a small donation to help meet this goal for the OLG Claretian Youth Group.
In celebration of inspirational youth leaders, in solidarity, building bridges to cross for marginalized youth from worlds of poverty and violence to worlds of hope and opportunity, much gratitude for your donation
