New Opportunity For Those Who Are Grieving!
Healing from loss takes time, and everyone grieves differently—there’s no “right way” and no shortcuts. You don’t have to walk this journey alone. Join us for a 13-week GriefShare course beginning January 21, 2026. The group meets on Wednesdays at 9:30–11:30 am or 6:30–8:30 pm (choose one session) in the Community Center. Register at find.griefshare.org/find or contact Julie Gartrell at 301-385-1262.
Women’s Guild Is Cooking!
Football season isn’t over until the Super Bowl, and we’ve got the perfect way to celebrate—Super Bowl Chili is back! Pre-order our famous STM Chili after all Masses on Jan 24/25 and Jan 31/Feb 1. Orders will be ready to pick up in the Community Center on Saturday, Feb 7 after the 4:00 pm Mass and Sunday, Feb 8 after the 8:00 am, 10:00 am, and 12:00 pm Masses. No matter who you’re cheering for (or even if your team didn’t make it), the game is always better with a bowl of our delicious chili! All proceeds support the needs of our STM Parish Community.
Help Is Needed—And It’s Easy!
Christmas shopping may be done, but online shopping happens all year long—and we need your help to make our 2026 Vacation Bible School truly spectacular! As those Amazon boxes arrive, please save the long packing paper inside (5 feet or longer only). These will transform into our jungle vines. Drop off your paper donations at the Community Center anytime during business hours. Your support means the world to us, and we can't thank you enough for being part of this exciting journey!

We Are Always In Need Of Sponsors
Those journeying through the sacraments of initiation, like Becoming Catholic (OCIA) or Confirmation, are on a journey that allows interested individuals an opportunity to examine the Christian faith in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The people on this wonderful faith journey need a partner, a fellow traveler, because sometimes the road is difficult, and it’s not always easy to see where it’s leading. They need a companion, a guide, and a friend who knows the way. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or have any questions, please contact Mary Thompson (303-907-0451 or mary.thompson782@gmail.com) or Deacon Dan Maier (702-325-5975 or dcndan@stmlv.org).
Holy Communion For The Sick
If you are unable to leave your home, please contact Patti Sabo at 702-269-3110 to arrange for an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion to visit you. If you are hospitalized, please notify the hospital staff of your Catholic faith and desire to receive Communion.
