Also, October is traditionally the Month of the Holy Rosary. We will begin shortly after the recitation of the Rosary. The parish 20th year anniversary lands in year 2025 and there are plans being made to celebrate with a Solemn Mass with Bishop Ricken.

BOXING CHRISTMAS JOY - Once again Stella Maris Parish will be sharing the joy of Christmas with children living in poverty from around the world. "Box of Joy" is a Cross Catholic Outreach program. By filling a shoebox with small toys, clothing, hygiene items and school supplies, you can share God's love in a tangible manner. Filled shoeboxes or donations of items for the boxes can be placed in the main entry collection bins from September 24th to October 29th. Boxes will be blessed on November 5th. Shipping per box is $9.00. Empty boxes will be avalable. Our annual Box of Joy collection for needy children around the world will begin in just a few weeks. Begin thinking about what school and hygiene items and small toys you may wish to include in your box/es this year. More details coming soon.
MEMORIALS FOR THE BORN AND UNBORN - A memorial for the unborn allows parents and anyone who has a place in their hearts for these souls to have a place to pray and mourn, to give them a voice. Whether an abortion or miscarriage, there is usually not a burial. This memorial promotes the sanctity of human life. Through the availability of a grant available through the Diocese and the generosity of the Knights of Columbus, the Respect Life committee arranged for purchase of granite memorials to be placed at each of our four cemeteries. All are invited to visit at any time, especially as we commemorate All Saints Day and All Soul’s Day. Click Here to view a brochure with additional information.
RESPECT LIFE IMPORTANT INFORMATION - The parish Respect Life Committee has recently published important information for Mom's in need. Click Here to visit their page or Click Here to go directly to the Resource Guide.
