Advent Begins November 27

Advent is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to the anniversary of our Lord’s birth and to Christ’s second coming at the end of time. Please join us this Advent, the beginning of a new liturgical year, as we enter more deeply into prayer, reflection, and the sacramental life of the Church.

This Advent flyer includes special events, Confession times, and regular prayer experiences available here at Saints Peter and Paul. In addition to these special events, parishioners can refer to the online calendar of regularly scheduled liturgical and ministerial events at

sspeterandpaul.net/calendar, where more details are available.

Please respond generously to our second collection this weekend for seminarian education

This weekend, SSPP Seminarian Andrew Bogusz will be with us to speak at all Masses. Our parish is taking up a second collection for the I Will Give You Shepherds campaign. Your gifts will support the formation of seminarians preparing to serve as our parish priests.

The Diocese of Joliet currently has been blessed with 23 men discerning vocations to the priesthood through seminary formation. Gifts to the I Will Give You Shepherds campaign are being invested in a new endowed fund to ensure the diocese can balance the cost of seminarian education — $50,000 a seminarian per year — with other ministries essential to the Church’s mission.

Please show your gratitude for those who have answered the Lord’s call and prayerfully reflect on how you can best help support their formation with a gift to the I Will Give You Shepherds campaign. You may place your completed second collection envelope in the collection basket or drop it off at the parish office.

Father Brad Baker, Ray Jones and

Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Church

cordially invite you to the 25th annual Light the Way!

Proceeds will support the parish’s outdoor lighting project, including the illumination of its historic church. As one of the tallest structures in downtown Naperville—the heart of the city—the church steeple serves as a true beacon in the community, a sign of faith and hope for all.
