Charismatic Prayer Meeting
The next monthly Charismatic Prayer Meeting will be held at 7 pm on Tuesday September 7 in the Parish Center Chapel. Escape the ordinariness of life into the quiet of a small group of folk who will rest in God’s presence, praising Him with song and scriptures before bringing our heart’s concerns to Him in prayer.

G.I.F.T. (Growing In Faith Together)
 Tuesday, September 14, at 7:30 pm, G.I.F.T. features our Deacon Ray Wellbank, who will conduct a workshop exploring the Catholic Catechism, using it to gain a deeper understanding of our faith. In this hands-on evening, we’ll focus on such issues as: how is God’s revelation communicated to us, how do we respond to it, what is meant by the words ‘paschal mystery,’ etc. Come with your questions, with your catechism, but most of all, just come!!

Tuesday, October 12 at 7:30 pm, G.I.F.T. presents parishioner Anthony Bellitto, the Executive Director of the North Penn Water Authority, who will speak about his involvement in the organization known as Water For People, which was  established in 1991 to address the desperate worldwide problem of a lack of clean drinking water. Mr. Bellitto and his daughter spent a week with a  group on a water-relief mission in Honduras, and visited WFP projects there, seeing first hand the conditions that require this kind of help.

Meetings take place in the Parish Center lobby meeting room. Refreshments follow these meetings.

Half Day Retreat Presented by Deacon Ray Wellbank
All Parishioners Welcome!
All are invited to spend Saturday morning, September 25, with St. Peter as our guide. By taking Scripture passages that relate to incidents of his life, we will be able to draw valuable lessons on what it means to follow Our Lord. It is my hope that in reflecting with me upon these incidents from Peter’s life, that we will grow closer to him, and as a result, closer to Jesus. Please plan to attend! The retreat takes place from 8:45 am until noon, at the Assumption Convent, up the street from St. Stanislaus Church at 506 Crestview Avenue.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA): Sessions begin September 8!!!

 The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process of instruction, prayer and community experience that leads to full communion in the Catholic Church. Through the RCIA we hope to share with you our understanding of who God is and how we live out our relationship with God in the Faith Family we call the Catholic Church. Because the RCIA is a process, it does not require a decision today. It is a time for discernment, a time for you to discover more about yourself, your faith and your relationship with God. You may or may not decide to live out this relationship in the Catholic Church. What we offer in the RCIA are the tools for discernment and an opportunity for your own religious growth within a supportive community. RCIA sessions are held on Wednesday evenings from September to May. For information, contact Sister Cecilia Hervas at the Parish Center, 215.855.3133.
