100 Hours of Mercy Program

“Be faithful to your plan of 100 Hours of Mercy. Look for those who are lost in this community, and also lost in the broader community of Chicagoland. Be sensitive to that because it’s at the heart of what it means to be in touch on a day-to-day basis with that sense of being lost. Because that is how we come to understand who God really is in our lives.” -- Blase Cardinal Cupich, OLPH Centennial Mass, September 14, 2019
