Note there will be no Parish News email on Thanksgiving Day,

but a comprehensive list of Advent events follows,

and the parish calendar can always be accessed here.

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.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel!

Additional Help Needed

Now that altar servers will be assisting at Masses again, please let the parish office know if you can help with the following:

• Cleaning altar server vestments—This task happens three times per year (Advent/Lent/Summer) and involves washing and drying the altar server vestments, along with ironing the surplices.

• Rug donation—Do you have a 10x14 rug (or similar) you could donate to be used in the altar server sacristy?

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.
