The SMV Employment Ministry - the Wellspring Employment Resource Community(WERC) - aspires to provide a safe and effective faith-based forum for sharing work search tools and techniques which can enable our un/underemployed sisters and brothers in their search for meaningful and rewarding work, and to provide a support network for those who are un/underemployed and their families.

WERC is currently holding evening meetings on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month; some presentations will also be available duing daytime hours.

Exciting and dramatic changes to digital and electronic communications are happening almost daily in the Archdiocese of Chicago. The most recent initiative, the Cardinal’s Network, has been introduced on the Archdiocesan web site.
