PRAY FOR OUR SEMINARIANS

Help is especially needed at St. Stanislaus Church in recruiting new members for the Church Art and Environment Committee.

You may notice that as different liturgical seasons roll around here at St. Stanislaus, the Church the décor changes.

The Art & Environment Committee works to bring beauty and a prayerful atmosphere to our Worship space. Their goal is to enhance our worship experience by providing liturgically appropriate decoration, not to distract from the Mass. This will be done by coming up with Liturgical themes that echo the whole life of Christ through the seasons of Advent, Ordinary Time, Lent, Easter and other special occasions/events.

The committee is looking for willing hands to help them rearrange decorations and make our worship space beautiful. We are a multi-cultural parish, and the A&E Committee is looking for ways to honor other cultures, and are always open to new suggestions and ideas.

If you are interested in volunteering, please email your interest and information for the Art & Environment Committee at: info@ststanscc.org sessions for new members are scheduled as needed.

Requirements:
Helpful Attributes:
  • Flexible schedule during the various feasts, seasons, and particular celebrations within the liturgical year.
  • Desire to create a beautiful environment to enhance liturgies

Central Catholic Christmas Cards

The Kristi Phippen Art Gallery is joyously celebrating the artistry of Central Catholic students, past and present in the form of annual Christmas cards.

The Christmas Card Project was designed to offer a Central Catholic student the opportunity to take a creative idea from a draft to the final product. Each year one of our art students is hand picked by the head of the department to work with me on the development of our card. The artist not only has the opportunity to pick the paper and the appropriate font, but they also choose the best colors as the card comes off the press. As you can see we have been blessed with generous donations and support that enable us to complete the Christmas card each year. Thank you to Parks Printing, Joan and Hugh Hart, Central. Catholic Foundation, Mrs. Padula, Mrs. Vance, and all the teachers that allowed the students to miss their class while working on our cards.

~ Jim Pecchenino, '72.

WE can't wait to debut the newest card for 2024.
You will see it very soon! 🎄
Until then, please view these cards of years past in person or online.

DECEMBER EVENTS

The Diocese of Stockton is pleased to announce the 44th annual celebration in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The event begins at 12 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024, with a procession from St. Mary’s Church, concluding with a Holy Mass at the Stockton Arena at 2 p.m. The diocese invites all to walk in communion with Mary and the Church to encounter Jesus in the Eucharistic celebration.

In 1981, the Office of Hispanic Apostolate of the Diocese of Stockton began the tradition of journeying through the downtown streets in a pilgrimage honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe. Each year, parish groups from across the diocese unite in honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe. Pilgrims sing, pray, and dance in praise of God and in gratitude for her intercession as a loving mother. More than ten thousand people gather annually to participate in this tribute.

In 1986, the Most Reverend Donald Montrose, the fourth Bishop of Stockton, gifted a 6-foot-tall image of Our Lady of Guadalupe for the diocesan procession. This image has since accompanied the faithful each year on their journey, symbolizing their path toward an encounter with her beloved Son, Jesus Christ. The pilgrimage concludes with the celebration of the Eucharist.

In anticipation of this year’s celebration, the Most Reverend Myron J. Cotta, Bishop of Stockton, shared a message with the faithful: “As Pilgrims of Hope, let us prepare ourselves for the Coming of the Lord as we welcome the anticipated Year of Jubilee. May the prayers of Our Lady of Hope, Our Lady of Guadalupe, guide us to Jesus, who is God with us!”
