Priests have dedicated their lives to the ministry of God’s children, serving our needs as Catholics without asking for anything in return. Now, it is our turn to show our love and care for their ever-faithful support. Please consider including a legacy gift for Priests’ Health and Retirement to support the healthcare needs of our active priests, as well as the medical and housing needs of our retired priests.

Holy Child Jesus Parish would like to honor and congratulate Lee Draus as he enters his fiftieth year of service to the Church as a lector. Lee began lecturing at St. Sylvester in 1973, came to St. Margaret Mary in 2009, and continued at Holy Child Jesus Parish after the unification of St. Henry, St. Margaret Mary, St. Timothy, and the Blessed Stepinac Croatian Mission. Throughout the years, Lee has also proclaimed the Scriptures at retreats, conferences, and prayer sessions. Lee is a beautiful example of faith in action! God bless you, Lee.
