"Founding Generation" celebrated in Chicago

On a rainy Sunday in Chicago, nearly 200 people gathered in a historic ballroom in the suburbs of Chicago. Together they sang, reminisced and celebrated the decades of work they've done for our Church.

Before we were a national organization with a staff and chapters all over the United States, Call To Action was a Chicago based group of Catholics passionate about social justice, Vatican II and community. Many of those early leaders gathered for the celebration, and were joined by others who've become a part of this movement more recently.

The event also paid tribute to Bob Heineman. As both a staff member and volunteer leader over the past decades, Bob has been an inspiring and committed leader in the work of building the Church we believe in.
