The Feast of The Immaculate Conception
Father will celebrate a Vigil Mass for the
Feast of the Immaculate Conception,
which is a Holy Day of Obligation this Friday at 7:00 PM
here at St. Stanislaus.
Today’s Meditation We are in fairly good company when we ask God for justice. Often enough we hear and agree with the lament of the people of Israel asking God why the wicked prosper. However, when we call out for justice, we usually want someone to get his or her comeuppance. God’s justice is something other than this, of course.
God’s justice comprises a wonderful rightness between God and humankind. Today, Jeremiah looks ahead to a time when a just one will sprout from the shorn-off stump of Jesse of the house and family of David. Life was not fair in Jeremiah’s time. Israel’s kings held the promise of God’s fidelity, but it was difficult to see how God’s promise could be realized through them. Nevertheless, Jeremiah lifts his voice and announces that the Promised One will come. Luke’s Gospel echoes that announcement, and Paul is filled with sturdy encouragement. And so Advent begins with a promise.

We Welcome all Visitors!
Welcome to St. Stanislaus Parish. We are happy you chose to be with us today. If you are traveling, we pray for your safe journey. If you live in the Wilmington area, we hope you will return soon to worship with us.
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.
Update for 2018 If you have placed a loved one on our prayer list and they are now no longer in need of prayers please call Rebecca in the office to have their name removed so that we may update our prayer list. If you have someone to add to the list you may also call Rebecca to add them. Thank you.
May all those in need of our prayers and their caretakers
feel God’s Love for them!

A time to mourn:

the family of Mary Elizabeth Johnson
who passed away on Wednesday, November 14th.
May God bring Peace to her family at this difficult time.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry will resume their meetings in January 2019, the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month. If you have any yarn that you would like to donate to them, they would greatly appreciate that. You can drop off materials to the office between 8 Am and Noon. Please contact Rebecca in the office if you would like a shawl for yourself or a family member. The shawls have been blessed and are a beautiful way to share the warmth and love to those who may need it.
Social Ministries Giving Tree
The Social Ministries Giving Tree is now in the Gathering Area. At this time we ask you to take a tag and fulfill the wishes of a child in need (boys and girls ages 1-12). We are requesting that all gifts NOT BE WRAPPED, instead please put the gifts in Christmas gift bags, along with the gift tag so that we make sure the gifts are distributed correctly. This year, especially we need to help those less fortunate to have
a joyful and peaceful Christmas.
Next Weekend December 8th and 9th will be the last weekend that you can bring in your gifts.
Many thanks, as always.
