Our Mission Statement In recognition of God’s love and presence in every human being, the members of Saint Stanislaus Parish embrace the challenge to serve God and all His people. In fellowship with one another, we nurture our Catholic Faith through the celebration of the sacraments and reflection on the word of God. As a welcoming and culturally diverse Faith Community, we strive to proclaim and live the good News of Jesus Christ while providing for the spiritual and physical needs of those less fortunate.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults RCIA is the process for prospective converts to our faith. If you are interested in becoming a Catholic, know someone who might be, or is just thinking about it, or if you just want to know more about your Catholic faith, you are invited to come take a look. We welcome newcomers at all times. Our meetings are generally held on Wednesday evenings in the parish office. Check the Parish Planner for specifics. Con-tact: Deacon Jeff at Deacon.Jeff@ec.rr.com

ELUSIVE HAPPINESS Happiness will never be ours if we do not recognize to some degree that God’s blessings were given us for the well-being of all. —Anonymous

Today’s Meditation Some of Saint Paul’s best known and most beloved imagery is contained in the passages from First Corinthians that we have heard last week and this week: the many gifts granted by the one same Spirit and the many members making up the one Body of Christ. Few passages from sacred scripture more accurately sum up how Christian vocations work together. Unlike some of Paul’s other writings, which are a product of the social and

religious conventions of his time, these enable us to look at our own lives and the lives of those around us to discern what gifts, what vocations the Holy Spirit has given for the good of all. We can likewise know the joys and sorrows of the other members of the Body and share in them for the strengthening of the whole Body of Christ. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
