Dear parishioners & friends of St. Edward’s,
Let us pray, tonight, and in the coming weeks, for each other, for our parish, and for our sister parishes. We are all in this together!
For the Parish
Almighty and everliving God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for this parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our 2021 Stewardship Campaign is moving along at a great pace. We thank all who have submitted their pledge forms, to date. Your commitment and generosity is so greatly appreciated. But, we need all of you! As Father Rick, and our Stewardship Committee leaders have so thoughtfully articulated these past 2 weeks, it is the financial support from you, our St. Edward’s parish family, that makes it possible to bring such vibrant ministry to you and the wider community, as well as to properly steward our wonderful church campus. We are almost half way towards our Stewardship 2021 goal! Please prayerfully consider mailing in your pledge commitment by November 29th for our Ingathering. To learn more, click here.

Annual Jesse Tree Project Has Begun
For many, Thanksgiving and Christmas represents a ‘season of giving’. Giving to the foster children of COBYs during the holidays has been a long-time favorite of this parish.
This service is known as the Jesse Tree project. Jesse Tree provides gifts for children in foster care, making Christmas a little brighter. Through COBYS Family Services we obtain a list of children in foster care, their ages, and their Christmas wishes. We don’t take the place of Santa. Rather, we act as Santa’s helpers by adding another gift or two for a child to open on Christmas morning.
