Dear Parishioners, As part of this year s UPP, Gala on the Green, we are again designating one part of the evening as an opportunity to raise money which will go directly toward the school s technology plan. This portion of the evening is called Stand-Up for Technology. Before dinner starts on the evening of May 16, we will ask everyone in attendance to consider making a donation specifically for this fund. You won t want to miss the video of our children and their teachers showing how technology has and will continue to improve their education. And then we will be asking you to STAND-UP. Everyone who is willing to contribute $10 to this fund will be asked to stand. Then we will continue to raise the bar, asking everyone who can, to remain standing at $20, $50 and so on. At whatever level you are comfortable giving, you will sit down and fill out a donation card that will be located on your table. Last year the majority of donations were less than $100 and we raised over $50,000! This helped the school No contribution is too small. We hope you will consider making a donation to this important cause in addition to the other wonderful auction items and raffles available at the UPP. We look forward to seeing you on Friday, May 16 at Gala on the Green. Best regards, The UPP Committee If you have any questions regarding Stand-Up for Technology or the UPP in general, please contact us at upp@qasparish.org. Please our Facebook page Queen of All Saints UPP/ Field of Dreams. 6 Queen of All Saints Basilica Chicago, IL

They are invited to a dinner where they are recognized by Cardinal Francis George. In addition to those receiving recognition from the parishes, there are a few outstanding individuals who receive Archdiocesan recognition. I am please to announce that Marizel Abad will be recognized by the Archdiocese for her outstanding service not only to Queen of All Saints, but also to the entire Archdiocese. Although a Queen of All Saints School parent, Marizel volunteers to teach religious education to both 2 nd grade and 4 th grade. This year, she has completed her certification as a catechist for the Archdiocese, and will be recognized in June. In addition to these laudable endeavors, she, along with a small team of volunteers, organized the annual Simbang Gabi. Join in celebrating this most worthy recipient and fellow parishioner. RE Registration for 2014-2015 Registration for the coming school year is now underway. All forms for registration may be found on the parish website. Simply download all forms and bring them to the RE Office. Be sure to register before the June 12 to receive the Early Bird discount. Families are asked to pay a minimum of $75 at the time of registration. Since this is the Year of Strong Catholic Families, we are hoping that many of you would consider volunteering in the program. I promise you that your rewards will be great. Fourth Sunday of Easter May 11, 2014 7
