AN ADVENT INVITATION

During Advent, we will be using the booklet “Prepare His Way” whose four suggested themes focus on Hope, Healing, Justice and Peace. We invite you to join us on Tuesdays, December 6 and 20, from 1-2 p.m. or Thursdays, December 1 and 15 from 6-7 p.m. in the Parish Center. You can pick up the booklet with daily readings from Pope Francis, St. Mother Teresa, and Father Henri Nouwen on the first day of each gathering. We will read through the first week of readings together and share our thoughts as we prepare ourselves for Christ’s coming into our lives anew.

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY/RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA)

Would you like to know how much you are loved by God?  Fr. Clay will be offering an opportunity to learn more about the spiritual journey and to be transformed by that journey. This will be from the Christian perspective which includes our perspective as Catholics. This is offered for those who are not Catholic and want to learn more about us. It is also for adult Catholics who would like to celebrate First Communion or Confirmation. The group’s initial, introductory meeting will be on September 25 after the 10:00 a.m. mass and then the *second and fourth Sundays of October through April from 11:30-1:00 p.m. in the Church Hall. Father Clay will be present at each meeting. To register, please call Pat Heroff at 651-964-2808 or email at pat@ststans.org. *correction from first and third Sundays previously announced.
