ADVENT “MINI-MISSION”
St. Stanislaus enjoyed the fruits of the FORMED format during the Advent season in utilizing their Advent series. 18 parishioners attended this two-evening event to help enhance their Advent journey. We hope to provide more of these reflective and informative evenings in the future.
SENIOR BREAKFAST Due to the very untimely appearance of winter’s face last week, our much anticipated Senior breakfast was postponed to a later date. Sorry for the inconvenience; no one felt more disappointed than those who planned the event.
