A note from the CMCS director
Vision: To Foster Catholic Men's Spirituality in Chicago Southland
Dear CMCS Men and Friends,

Below is a brief selection from the numerous resources related to the life, death, and funeral of Pope Francis. I hope you find it both meaningful and informative.
 

Let Us Pray

 

...beginning in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, for the repose of the soul of Jorge Bergoglio, Pope Francis...


Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at hour of our death. Amen.
