Generation to Generation: Campaign Update


$2 Million and Counting — Now 100% of New Pledges Stay at ICSJ

In August, Immaculate Conception & St. Joseph Parish joined every parish in the Archdiocese of Chicago in the Generation to Generation: Answer the Call campaign — our opportunity to strengthen our parish today while building a secure foundation for future generations.

Thanks to the incredible commitment of those parish families who stepped forward first, we’ve done something extraordinary: ICSJ Parish has surpassed its $2 million challenge goal and moved into the 100% Parish Zone—and now every single dollar pledged stays right here at ICSJ!

Learn more about the 100% Zone and previous giving zones.

As of November 24 2025, we stand at $2,253,761 pledged by 21% of our parish households!

This milestone reflects the faith, sacrifice, and generosity of those who first answered the call—laying the foundation for what comes next.

Now that we’ve reached our Challenge Goal, 100% of every new dollar pledged stays right here at ICSJ, supporting the projects and ministries that keep our Family of Families thriving:

  • Improvements at St. Joseph and Immaculate Conception

  • Expanded tuition assistance and upgraded classroom technology

  • Strengthened ministries, outreach, and parish programs

  • Parish reserves for long-term financial stability

We’re Only Getting Started


This may feel like the finish line, but many parish households have yet to pledge. The opportunity ahead is tremendous. Every five-year commitment, large or small, will help secure a strong and lasting future for worship, education, and parish life.

Let’s follow the example of those who have already given so generously — and make this next stage our strongest yet.

Give Now For the Future

Make your pledge November 8–9 as part of Commitment Sunday — and be part of the next chapter of God’s work at ICSJ.
