Matthew 9:12
"He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.""

In the journey of life, we often face challenges that can lead us to seek help, much like a patient who visits the doctor only when the signs of illness become apparent. Just as we recognize our physical ailments and crave healing, there exists a deeper, spiritual dimension to our existence. It’s not until we come to terms with our own flaws and the weight of our shortcomings that we can truly seek the forgiveness and spiritual renewal that Christ offers. This introspective realization is the first step on a transformative path, one that can lead us from a state of hopelessness to one of redemption and peace, illuminating the profound truth that healing—both physical and spiritual—begins with acknowledgment and understanding. |

In a world filled with distractions and unknowns, CMCS invites you to join us in a heartfelt journey of prayer as we seek the strength to lead Catholic men to the ultimate source of healing—Jesus Christ. Our mission is to help them express why Jesus is important to them and share the transformative impact He has in their lives. We acknowledge that the journey begins with an understanding of their own struggles, the "symptoms" of sin that cloud their hearts. It is the CMCS mission to illuminate the path to salvation by presenting the profound truths of His Word. As we strive to communicate effectively, we must remember the importance of humility; only through recognizing their need for Christ can they truly embrace the transformative power of the Gospel.
Let us be discerning and sensitive in our approach, ensuring our words resonate deeply, drawing them closer to the love and grace that await. Together, we can inspire a movement of healing and faith. |

In the heart of our community, this Catholic Men Chicago Southland online ministry serves as a beacon of hope and connection for many. While our ministry is free to all who wish to partake in its offerings, the journey to sustain this vital mission comes at a cost. We invite you to be a part of this story—a story of faith, brotherhood, and support. By prayerfully considering a financial contribution, you can help us continue our work and ensure that this ministry flourishes for everyone. Your generous support, in whatever amount you see fit, would be an invaluable part of our narrative, propelling us forward together in faith and unity. |

A quick update - The CMCS Fall Appeal: Only support from those who value our work can keep this apostolate going.
We need to raise $1,000.00 to function debt free the CMCS Apostolate and online ministry through December 2025.
So far 75% of this goal has been met.
Our online outreach ministry is free to access, but not free to make.
And if you cannot give,
please pray.
Thank you!
