First Friday are always on the evening of the first Friday of the month and they're primarily Social or Service events. There will be something every month, and exactly what that thing is will change every month.

On the third weekend of the month, not always on Sundays, we do some kind of a mass or Spiritual activity connected with a meal. It might be a noon mass followed by lunch, or solemn vespers followed by dinner, or anything similar. The idea is to pray and socialize together as a community group.

We mostly choose parishes where we have members or contacts. If you're willing to play host for a day at your parish, please let us know and we'll get you on the calendar. No experience necessary, we can walk you through it. (And we're nice, we promise.)

One-off events happen on different days and times each month. These could be any kind of activity, and feel free to suggest (or volunteer to host!) anything fun that we're missing. Ideas include game or hobby nights,  summer festivals, sporting events, volunteering with charities, day trips to Catholic pilgrimage sites nearby, or just about any other kind of thing we hear about that's happening in Chicagoland.

Events might have age restrictions. For example, some charities have a minimum age for volunteers. Please be sure to check the event details if you are planning to bring kids.

C4 does not charge for events and we don't solicit cash donations.

We want our events to foster community and we want them to be as accessible/affordable as possible. The majority of our events will be free or at locations like restaurants where everyone can control their own costs.

A few events (e.g. sports games) will be at venues that charge admission or require tickets. You'll buy your own ticket from the venue. Details on where/how will be in the event description.

We love ideas. Please pass them along. Extra super bonus points if you're willing to help host or plan an event.
