Statement of Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, on Standing with Immigrants - October 21, 2025 My dear brothers and sisters, today I speak to you as your shepherd, but also as a fellow pilgrim who shares the pain of many of our immigrant communities. Families are being torn apart. Children are left in fear, and communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The church stands with migrants. We stand with the mother who crosses borders to feed her children. We stand with the father who labors in silence to build a better future. We stand with the young person who dreams of safety and a better future. Our parishes and schools will not turn away those who seek comfort, and we will not be silent when dignity is denied in the enforcement of the law. It is essential that we respect the dignity of every human being. Now I want to say something directly to those immigrants without documents. Most of you have been here for years. You have worked hard. You have raised families. You have contributed to this nation. You have earned our respect. As the Archbishop of Chicago, I will insist that you be treated with dignity. Americans should not forget that we all come from immigrant families. You are our brothers and sisters. We stand with you. God bless you all. This survey seeks a response to our Summer Mass Schedule. A survey is an expression of interest. It is not a vote. The survey results will be part of our review process to evaluate the current Mass schedule. We will not be returning to our former schedule. Any changes will begin with the new Liturgical Year which begins the First Sunday of Advent. This survey is concerned with Mass times only. You may vote on paper or here electronically

The focus of the past 12 months has been the restructuring of the parish governance structure and meeting the parish community. All Saints Parish is now substantially in compliance with all the mandates contained in the decree which established All Saints Parish four years ago. The main parish office is now officially located in Niles. It is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. All the sacramental records have been relocated to the parish office. The satellite office in Morton Grove will maintain hours from 10:00a to 1:00p on Monday only. The finances and the parish data systems have been reconfigured to our new reality as a single parish. Banking relationships have been combined and streamlined. A new parish data system called ParishStaq has been installed to replace multiple stand-alone systems and fully integrates with the PushPay electronic giving application. We have added additional data components and options to help us manage a variety of programs and events. The parish now has one combined electronic calendar which is accessible on the revised parish website. It is available for viewing by all parishioners. This innovation has simplified the scheduling of parish events and liturgical celebrations. The tour schedule of the Shrine of All Saints has been incorporated into the parish calendar. All access to the calendar and the scheduling of events is now managed through the parish office. The calendar lists the dates for all events for our current tenants to prevent scheduling conflicts. This innovation has already simplified our scheduling burden. The current pastoral goals include the encouragement of social opportunities for the parish community to come together. The focus of this next year will be the development of these events and the revitalization of the parish commission structure. There is room for expansion in everything that we are currently doing. There is still a real need to address building maintenance issues which have been deferred, in some cases, for more than 30 years. The concern is that the roof repairs and mechanical systems will need replacement before we can arrange the funding to address their deficiencies. The most current estimates will push the costs beyond the one million dollar mark. A residence that was owned by the parish was sold this year to help cover mounting deficits from prior years. Some of the funds from the Generation-to-Generation Campaign will be used to help address the most critical items. It will remain a struggle to keep parish activities and programs available on both of our campuses. It is more than a matter of managing costs. It is vital for the future of All Saints Parish that our community supports parish activities and worship on both of our campuses. This will enable us to maintain a strong, Catholic presence and provide spiritual growth opportunities for all of our parishioners. All the elements for the successful transition to a unified parish with a central mission are present. There is little duplication of parish initiatives and organizations between our two parish sites. The finances are manageable if we are prudent with the stewardship of parish resources. The facilities are aging but are more than adequate for our present and projected needs. The building blocks are all there.
