Description

Our Lady of Humility School is excited to enter a new chapter in our history and hope you are willing to join us!  Through the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Renew My Church process, Our Lady of Humility School will no longer be a parish-run school beginning in the 2022-2023 school year.  Our Lady of Humility School will remain open and be an archdiocesan-run school.  This means that we will no longer have a parish to support us financially.  While this change brings about great hope and exciting ways that OLH School can grow, it also does bring with it the reality that our school is responsible for fundraising to keep the doors open for our students.


It has been amazing to see how our community (students, staff, parents, parishioners, alumni, and donors) has come together to respond to the challenges that we have been faced with.  THANK YOU for your continued prayers and support; we know we couldn’t do it without you!  As you may know, one of OLH School’s biggest fundraisers is our annual spring auction.  We continue to watch the spread of COVID, but at this time are hoping to have an in-person fundraiser again this spring on Saturday, April 23rd.  


Please consider making a donation to our auction to help make it a success.  100% of all money raised goes directly back to the school.  These past years we have been faced with extra expenses due to student health/safety while having lower class sizes.  Everyone who works on this event is a volunteer and the committee that hosts the event does so as a service to the school.  


We know that the coronavirus pandemic has hit everyone in different ways and are grateful for donations of any kind.  We are seeking items to auction off in order for our auction to be a success this year.  Your willingness to help would be truly appreciated.  Thank you for your continued support and prayers as OLH School enters this new chapter!


If I can be of any assistance to you, please contact me via e-mail at mdolan@olhschool.org or by phone at (847) 746-3722.
