December's Corporal Work of Mercy: Clothe the Naked
 
Advent week 2: PEACE
Advent is the first season in the church calendar. Since the 7th century A.D., Christians have included this celebration in their preparation for Christmas Day. Prepare the way of the Lord serves as a main theme of this season. Advent encourages us to prepare for the celebration of the birth of Christ and it reminds us that we are also preparing for Jesus' return in glory.

This week's Advent theme, Peace, reminds us that the peace Jesus brings is internal and spiritual; in spite of the turbulence that exists in the world around us.

Children of Haiti

Please help bring a smile to many Haitian children by supporting, “A Soda for a Dollar Day!” Students may bring a soda or juice to drink at school on Friday, December 9th. Don’t forget to pay a dollar to have a special drink at school! All proceeds will be donated to our Sister Parish, St. Anne’s. Thank you for your support.

Thank You!
Big thank you to everyone who helped support “Nickels for Nails.” With your help we raised $37.10 for Habitat for Humanity! Thank you for your continued support.

Labels for Education
The Campbell Soup Company has announced  that its long-running Labels for Education Program will be coming to an end in August of 2017. 


What’s this STO all about?
It’s about supporting Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Dubuque and making the most out of your charitable contribution. If you file an Iowa Income Tax Return, your contributions to the Our Faith School Tuition Organization (STO) qualify for a 65% tax credit. That means for every $100 you donate, you receive an Iowa income tax credit of $65, which reduces your Iowa tax liability by $65. Thus, a $1000 contribution reduces your Iowa tax liability by a whopping $650 AND the entire amount of your gift qualifies for federal deductibility. Visit www.OurFaithSto.org or call 800-876-3546 ext. 219 or 307 to learn more.
