Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time – June 21, 2026

Gospel: Matthew 10:26-33

Reflection:

Jesus reminds us not to fear, for we are precious in the Father’s eyes. That confidence calls us to live boldly as disciples and trust in God to share our gifts for the good of His Church.
When we support our parish through life insurance plans, we continue to proclaim Christ’s message without fear for future generations.

Take away of the week:

Jesus reminds us that we are precious to the Father, calling us to live our faith with courage.

A gift of life insurance is a powerful and simple way to provide future support for our parish.

Here are two ways to give a gift of life insurance to St. Elizabeth of the Trinity:
· Name our parish as a beneficiary of the policy. Simply update your beneficiary designation form with your policy holder and list the primary or contingent beneficiary as: “St. Elizabeth of the Trinity Parish, The Catholic Bishop of Chicago, a Corporation Sole”
· Make an outright gift of an existing policy. You can irrevocably name our parish as owner and beneficiary of a policy with accumulated cash value that you and your family no longer need.
You qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction when you itemize your taxes. Also, if you continue to pay premiums on the policy, each payment is tax deductible as a charitable gift, if you itemize.
