The Circle is a Community Resource Center for women of the Brighton Park neighborhood. Our mission is to accompany women on their journey by offering a welcoming and nurturing space with opportunities that support, encourage, and empower. We provide a safe place for women to come, be themselves, take a break from the stresses and strains of everyday life. We are a community dedicated to providing women with opportunities to learn and make their lives better in a variety of ways.

Following the example of our Founder, Saint Anthony Mary Claret, we are unafraid of entering difficult situations to offer Christ’s healing message of peace, professing a shared Christian belief, as we invite others to become part of our mission.

Our mission, in accord with the mission of the universal church, is directed toward awakening and deepening faith with and for the people of our times. We engage in this mission through our life, which is prayer, community, and ministry. Our ministry is that of retreats, spiritual direction, adult faith formation and contemplative presence.

ROOTED in the Gospel, UNITED in prayer and community, WE SHARE Franciscan joy AND SERVE generously.

We are overjoyed with your presence here with us today. We have been walking with Jesus on the Road to Emmaus. We are the missionary disciples walking with Jesus telling the story to him about what happened in Jerusalem. It is in the Gospel of Luke 24: 13-35. And, as they told the story, they were unable to recognize Jesus. When they invited Jesus to share a meal with them, they recognized him in “the breaking of the bread”. Let us recognize Jesus in one another as we gather to celebrate Mass at Our Lady of Africa every Sunday. The Eucharist is the “summit and source of our lives as Christians.” (Vatican II).
