One Story at a Time: Honoring Our 150-Year Legacy, Building Our Future

Answer the Call: A New Chapter for St. Procopius

For 150 years, the bells of St. Procopius have rung out over Pilsen, calling us together as a family of faith. From our founding in 1875 to our vibrant, bilingual community today, our parish has been a sanctuary for the immigrant, a home for the seeker, and a beacon of hope for the poor.

We are more than just a building; we are a living history of “true companions of Jesus Christ.” But today, as we celebrate our sesquicentennial, we are called to look forward. The Generation to Generation capital campaign is our invitation to ensure that the faith handed down to us remains strong for those who will follow.

We have already begun this journey with $5,000 pledged toward our $225,000 goal. Now, we invite you to help us write the next chapter.

Three Ways You Can Help

Every member of our parish has a role to play in this mission. We ask you to consider three specific ways to participate:

  • PRAY: Join us in daily prayer for the success of this campaign and for the future of our parish. Spiritual fruitfulness is the foundation of all we do.

  • VOLUNTEER: Share your time and talents to help us spread the word. We need ambassadors to share the “One Story at a Time” vision with their neighbors.
