Honoring the legacy of our hometown hero "Uncle Pete" Zonsius: Through his many trips to the Westside of Chicago, Uncle Pete, as he was known to all, realized that more and more people were homeless, in shelters, or living on less than adequate wages to support their families. Seeing this great need, he organized some of the members of his parish, Saint John Brebeuf (Niles, IL), and got them involved making sack dinners once per month for eight months of the year. He felt, “it is hard to see people so much in need, and not respond”. He knew if he could help mobilize various groups of volunteers, each could do something to contribute, even in a small way. He believed that together small efforts can add up to make a significant impact on the daily needs of people who are hungry, right here in our area. Over the years, through Uncle Pete’s example and vision, these acts of mercy have continued and grown. Under the direction of a small group of core volunteers, who have maintained the relationships that Uncle Pete developed, Uncle Pete Ministries continues to add on new groups of volunteers and supporters.
