Thanks (for) Giving!
This time of year we give thanks for all that we have. We also are asked to give to those who are less fortunate. And as always, you answered the call! The above picture is 1 of 3 trunks that were filled to the top with food donations for Daybreak Shelter. This 1 weekend donation collection was able to fill up their pantry! The families who will benefit from your generosity and kindness will be able to enjoy a warm meal and treats.
Sometimes it takes only one act of kindness and caring
to change a person’s life.

Oh, When the Saints Go Marching In....
Nov. 1st the kids celebrated All Saints' Day Mass as a school community. It was wonderful seeing all the parents, grandparents and St. Paul alum in attendance! Our Fifth grade students not only prepared for today's Mass, they also researched and dressed as a saint that they selected. Our students did a WONDERFUL job and we are proud of them. Before Mass, the same students did a presentation of their saint to the fourth grad class. Thanks everyone!

CLOUD OF WITNESSES
A Catholic Series on the Saints ~ In his Letter to the Hebrews, the sacred author declares that the faithful are surrounded by a “cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 12:1). This “cloud” is the communion of saints, our elder brothers and sisters who assist and guide us to Christ.
Cloud of Witnesses series offers an in-depth look at the lives of six saints. Michael Lewandowski will present on their lives and their miracles after they joined their heavenly Father. This opportunity seeks to inspire us to persevere and strive to be holy. Each Thursday evening will include an optional potluck from 6-7 pm in the Social Hall; dinner themes will center around the saint’s ethnicity. Michael’s presentation will run from 7-8:15 pm, and dessert will be served during small- and large-group discussion about the featured saint from 8:15-9 pm.
The first session on St. Maximilian Kolbe will be held on Thursday, October 27th. Click here to sign up for the optional Polish potluck.

The holidays may be a very painful and difficult time if you and your family have experienced the death of loved ones during the past few years. All around us, our culture celebrates while your heart is heavy, and even the tiniest thing can instantly touch off a tidal wave of sadness.
For help in coping during such an emotional time, come to the free program “Handling Grief During the 2022 Holidays,” from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 7, at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, 1500 Brookdale Road, Naperville.
This in-person program will be presented by Paula Kosin, a licensed clinical professional counselor and facilitator of the grief support group at St. Thomas. Kosin will discuss challenges the upcoming holidays can pose and identify strategies to help experience the season with some quiet joy, including ways to honor deceased loved ones and experience the healing presence of Jesus.
Come by yourself or invite a friend or family member to join you. Social distancing will be observed and wearing face masks is optional.
The program, sponsored by the behavioral health ministry at St. Thomas, is free but registration is required. To register or for more information about the program, contact Susan Kearney, coordinator of St. Thomas’ behavioral health ministry, at sdkearney@comcast.net or 630 355-8980, ext. 108 by Thursday, Nov. 3rd.
