Christian Service Commission G-ZThe mission of the Christian Service Commission is to enable the parish community to put into practice the social teaching of the Church. The Commission creates or promotes—both at the local level and in the broader community of city, state, nation and world—programs which respond to human needs and work for justice. It is in loving our neighbor that we show our love for the Lord.

While in the Transitional Housing program, families receive financial support through free housing and other subsidies. This financial support is donated by the Parish during this transitional period. To remain in the program, family members (especially the parents) must set and attain goals designed to prepare them for independent living. This transitional housing period is designed to last between 18 and 30 months for a homeless family. While in the care of the parish, the family is under the close care and supervision of two to four trained mentors who act as the parish’s support and training arm, preparing the parent(s) to get the job training skills or education necessary to find a level of employment which will allow the family to become self-sufficient. Contact: Tim Brosnan Each Thursday, October through May, the hungry and homeless gather at St. Margaret Mary Church in Naperville for a hot meal and a place to sleep for the night. One Thursday each month, our parish is responsible for serving dinner and breakfast and hosting a secure and warm environment for the homeless of our area. PADS volunteers are needed to serve supper and breakfast, fix bag lunches, supervise the site and clean up the site on Friday morning. We work in four to five shifts from Thursday night at 6:00 PM until Friday morning at 7:00 AM. Contact: Carl & Pat Voss |
