 Bringing Home the Word Now Available!  

Bringing Home the Word is a lectionary-based, electronically delivered resource for individuals, families and parish groups. The two-page handout is designed to be easily printed or emailed to members of St. Stanislaus parish.

Each week, the readings for Sunday and the week following are listed for your reference. The main article relates the Sunday Gospel to our lives today. “Sunday Best” relates to some aspect of our Catholic identity, usually focused on Sunday. “TheHomeChurch” offers a faith-filled reflection and an activity for families, and the “Prayer” can be used as a table blessing or in a small group meeting. The “Reflection Questions” provide thought-provoking questions that encourage discussion among families and other parish groups. Click on the Links below to view the editions for
