RCIA Calendar – The November 5 session will be on The Liturgical Calendar led by Bruce Peterson. We will meet in the St. Jerome room. RCIA meets every Wednesday night starting at 7:00pm. Message from the Finance Council – Please consider the Parish’s financial needs in your year-end giving plans. To assist with our parish’s growth, we hope you will consider an extra year-end offering to either our stewardship or building fund accounts. We are also prepared to handle donations of stock. Please remember that the collection at all Masses on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are for the Clergy Welfare Fund. This is a very important collection but these funds do not stay in our Parish. Your prayerful consideration of our Parish’s financial situation is appreciated. Young Adults – The young adult group for those who are 18-21 meets bi-weekly for a meal and discussion. If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Krystina Tacchi. St. Stephen Bookstore – The bookstore will be open next weekend, November 8 and 9 after all Masses. We have Advent wreaths, rosaries, bibles, medals, prayer books/cards, holy water bottles, and more. Knights of Columbus News – There are countless ways to use gift cards for entertaining!

You can also order any of the hundreds of other cards from your favorite retailers that we always have available. Those will be available for you to pick up the following weekend. All proceeds from the card sales will go to the Building Fund to reduce our parish debt. This is a great way to get the full value of your dollar back in gift cards while you help reduce our parish debt.
