Advent by Candlelight
Tuesday, November 15
6:30 to 9 pm
Ladies, please join us for a festive evening of food, music, wine, fellowship, and reflection to prepare for the coming season of Advent. The evening will include a reflection from Stefania Elsmore, a gifted Catholic speaker and musician, songwriter, and mother of five. Advent by Candlelight has been a beloved tradition at STM for more than ten years. The event is open to all STM parents, parishioners, and their guests at no charge.
Advent by Candlelight is made possible by generous table hosts who agree to decorate one table; invite friends, family, or other STM parents to join them at their table; and either provide the food and wine for their table or coordinate guests in bringing food. If you would like to volunteer to be a table host or co-host or decorate for the event, please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0C4BADAA2AA1FF2-advent . If you would like to attend, but do not know a host and are unsure about hosting your own table, please RSVP to dianeduero@gmail.com with information about any affiliations that would help us match you with an appropriate table (e.g., STM parent with K, 3rd, and 6h graders; parishioner with toddlers, Walking with Purpose or choir member, etc.). Please feel free to contact Diane Duero or Jan Ahern, janahern.ja@gmail.com, with any questions. We look forward to seeing you! - FIAT

STM Used Uniform Sale
Thank you for another successful uniform sale!
A couple of things to note for future sales:
* FACTS will be the primary method of payment moving forward
* Bags may or may not be available for your purchases- always best to bring your own
If you're looking for opportunities to fulfill your volunteer hours and you would like to help with the sorting, hanging and/or sale itself, please review this Used Uniform Sign-Up. The next Used Uniform Sale will be on Thursday, November 3rd from 3:30-5:00pm in the basement.
Lastly, October was Renee Lowery's last sale to coordinate. I'd like to extend a big "Thank You" to Renee Lowery for all of her time and many years of service with the Used Uniform Sales!

Attn: Middle Schoolers!
Do you need service hours?
STM will be hosting bingo birthday parties at Holy Family Plaza, which is a retirement housing project owned by the Archdiocese and run by Catholic Charities. A lot of the residents don’t have much ability to get out and get few visitors. This is not only a good way to earn services hours but it’s a great way to share in acts of mercy and charity. We are looking for volunteers to help with a bingo birthday party on November 12. If you are interested, please contact Melissa Ogburn at melissaogburn@aol.com. ___________________________________________________________________________
