33 Days to Holiness
Want to grow in holiness, but too busy? Want to transform your work, your marriage, your family, and your life, but don’t have time?  Looking for the quickest, surest, and easiest way to holiness, but don’t know where to begin? In our hectic day and time, Blessed John Paul II and Blessed Mother Teresa knew that the quickest way to be transformed into a saint is through a relationship with Our Blessed Mother, Mary. Join us on June 18, as we begin a 33-day preparation for Marian Consecration. For six weeks, we’ll individually read about and reflect on four great Marian giants: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Mother Teresa, and Blessed John Paul II. They’ll teach us the secrets to drawing closer to the Heart of Jesus through the Heart of Mary. In our weekly meetings, Tuesdays from 9:30 to 11 am in the Parish Center, we’ll share our insights within our small group and then watch a 30-minute video. The video by popular author and speaker, Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, brings our individual reflections and group experience into a clear and liveable focus. If you are looking for a simple way to be spiritually renewed, develop a deeper relationship with Our Merciful Savior, and grow in holiness, attend 33 Days to Morning Glory. For contact information, please call Maureen Fillenwarth at the Parish Center.

Charismatic Prayer Meeting
“I have waited for the Lord, and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.” (Ps 40:2)
Whether waiting, crying, praising, or singing, be certain the Lord listens. Come join a small group that meets again on June 25 in the Parish Center Chapel at 7 pm.

Help with Promoting Stewardship at St. Stanislaus
The St. Stanislaus Stewardship Committee is in need of additional members to achieve their Mission of “helping the faith community of St. Stanislaus Parish share their God-given gifts of time, talent and treasure and provide the ways and means of becoming true disciples of Christ.” Some projects in which the Committee has been involved are: “Make a Difference Day”, Lenten & Advent enrichment opportunities, Greeters for Christmas and Easter Masses and ministry presence at Hospitality Sundays. The Committee meets on the first Monday of each month at 7 pm in the Parish Center. If you are interested, please contact Pam Mohl at 215.855.3133 or ststanspm@comcast.net

Landings: If any of your family members or friends have left the practice of their Catholic faith, suggest they check out www.catholicscomehome.org. It’s a painless way to evangelize – and an effective way for those who have left the Church to rethink their decision. St. Stanislaus has a “Landings” program for those who want to investigate returning. Please call 215.855.3133 to learn about sessions that are held in the comfortable non-threatening setting of parishioners’ homes.
