LPi Celebrates 50 Consecutive Years Serving Holy Family Parish in Illinois

LPi • July 10, 2023

In her first month on the job, Lorraine Adams, a newly hired ad sales executive from Illinois, noticed that one of the parish accounts she manages was quickly approaching a very special anniversary. Holy Family Parish in Rockford, Illinois signed on as an LPi customer 50 years ago this September!

 

“When I was researching Holy Family, one of the things that I noticed was their original start date in 1973. I couldn’t believe it — they’ve been with us from the beginning!”

“It’s a really neat parish and very vibrant,” Adams explains. “They have a 24-hour adoration chapel that is beautiful and it’s a large parish, with over 2200 families. They have a robust history of changes they’ve been through over the past 50 years and LPi has been with them every step of the way.”

 

To celebrate, Adams and Marcia Boswell, the area sales manager, threw Holy Family an anniversary party. They chose a pizza place by searching the ads in the parish’s bulletin and landed on Giordano’s Pizza in Chicago. Staff members from both the parish and the from the attached school attended the celebration sharing stories from the parish’s long history.


“The parish staff and their priest, Fr. Kaim, are all very active in the production of their bulletin. WOW!” said Adams as she recalled the experience.

 

Happy anniversary Holy Family church! We are honored to be walking alongside you in mission! Thanks for a wonderful 50 years and, here’s to 50 more.
