season of Advent. There are virtual Advent calendars, suggested books to read, life-saving

Saint Mary of the Lake. During this unusual me in our world, allow this Advent to help
you grow closer to God as you wait for the birth of our Lord.

CONFESSIONS FOR ADVENT & CHRISTMAS

          the addi on of our new
          li le kindergartener, we
          went from 199 to 200
          students. Let's go Vikings!

               An Opportunity to Help Students, Our School and Yourselves
St. Thomas of Villanova School just passed the 200 mark for enrollment for this school year. We have been able to wel-
come more than forty new students with the help of the Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program. Thanks to our gener-
ous donors, we con nue to grow our enrollment. The Tax Credit Scholarship provides a terrific opportunity to help us
to introduce students, who would otherwise not be able to afford it, to a quality Catholic educa on.

A group of generous donors at the Archdiocesan level have agreed to pool their resources so again this year they will be
able to match funds donated for individual schools at a 2:1 ra o. This means that for every dollar donated through Em-
power Illinois in the name of St. Thomas of Villanova School, we will receive two dollars in matching funds besides the
donated funds for our 2021-2022 scholarships

Donors can receive a 75% Illinois State tax credit for dona ng to needs based scholarships through the Illinois Tax
Credit Scholarship Program.

This is a huge opportunity for students and families. You can provide a St. Thomas of Villanova School educa on to
children from low-income families while receiving a state tax credit for yourself. It’s a Win-Win situa on.

Thank you, STV!

St. Angela's School sent pictures of their scholars wearing the dona ons from our successful Winter Clothing
    Drive. As you can see from their 'smiling' eyes, the students were so excited for their new outerwear.
                                           THANK YOU AGAIN—STV!

                   Check out the pod from our Veteran's Exi ng Homelessness Collec on!
               It was filled to the edge with the tremendous amount of dona ons from you.
                                 THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY—STV!

                                                Jezus odszedł do Ojca, a swój dom, czyli Kościół, pozostawił naszej trosce. Pan
                                                powierzył nam ‘staranie o wszystko’, a obdarzając życiem, powołaniem i misją,
                                                ‘każdemu wyznaczył zajęcie’. Do nas należy uważność i czuwanie oraz ciągła go-
                                                towość serca na spotkanie z Jezusem, teraz sakramentalnie, a kiedyś twarzą w
                                                twarz. Czuwanie uwrażliwia nasze serca na rozpoznawanie Bożego działania w
                                                nas i pośród nas. Dewiza wielu świętych może się stać również dla nas inspiracją
                                                na tegoroczny Adwent, jak też na całe życie: ‘Żyj tak, jakby każdy kolejny dzień był
                                                twoim ostatnim dniem życia’.
