Brings a unique approach to serving the community

Milwaukee, Wis., May 15, 2019 – Catholic Financial Life is expanding its services in northern Illinois with the addition of a new agency in Berwyn/North Riverside. Along with seven agencies across Wisconsin, this agency will be home base to the life insurance and annuity company’s 16 local bilingual advisors.

“Opening this new agency will allow us to better serve our members and to make a bigger impact in the community,” said Bill O’Toole, President and CEO of Catholic Financial Life. “As a member-owned life insurance company, we are different…different by design. The profits we make are returned to our members and help to enhance the quality of life in local communities.” 

To celebrate, there will be a Grand Opening on Saturday, May 18 from 1 – 4 p.m. at the agency - 7222 W. Cermak Road in the Berwyn/North Riverside community. Attendees will enjoy free food, entertainment, games and giveaways for the whole family.

Catholic Financial Life is unique within the financial services industry. “We have a three-fold mission: 1. Serving God through serving others; 2. Providing financial security; and 3. Enhancing quality of life,” said O’Toole.  “Not too many insurance companies believe that part of their purpose is to serve God, but we do.”

Because making a positive impact in communities through inspiring service is central to Catholic Financial Life’s mission, attendees are asked to bring nonperishable food items to help the hungry.

“At Catholic Financial Life, we take serious the Gospel message to love one another and to care for one another. That is why when attendees give a meal, they will get a meal on us,” said O’Toole.

Attendees may RSVP for the Grand Opening at cfl.org/grandopening.
