Parish Mission Statement
“Following the example of our patron St. Stephen, we
are called to be witnesses of God’s love and to be a
faith-filled, reconciling parish.”
Judging Jack
In his best-selling book You Are Not Special, high
school teacher David McCullough tells the story of a
one-time student of his, Jack. Jack is a quiet, selfpossessed, generally responsible teenager. He’s bright
and attentive - but he just doesn’t push himself. He
made it through Mr. McCullough’s class with a B/C+
average - but Mr. McCullough knew that Jack could do
better. He nudged Jack now and then, prodded
occasionally - but Jack was Jack.
Then one day, Mr. McCullough discovered that the
reticent Jack had a passion - “a big bag, a let-the-worldgo-on-without-me bag, a calling.” Jack mentioned it to
his teacher one day only in passing.
Jack loves to draw. And he’s good at it.
“But it’s more than that,” McCullough writes. “Jack
draws pictures of three dimensions. He creates detailed
paper models, sculptures really, with ordinary printer
paper, pencils and pens, scissors and Scotch tape. He
does it purely because he enjoys it. From the Hogwarts
Castle to the Statue of Liberty to a life-size, wearable
baseball cap, and on and on, some no bigger than a
deck of cards, some as big as a collie. Something
strikes his fancy, he sits down and makes a model. If it
takes a week, it takes a week. If the phone rings, he lets
it. If homework gets short shrift, so be it. And they are
exquisite, these Jack originals. They are beautifully,
masterly done. You should see them. Everyone should
see them - the Faberge eggs of paper sports carsand
Millennium Falcons. On that note, though, Jack doesn’t
care much either way. It’s nice that people like them, but
that’s not why he does it. The fun, the satisfaction, is in
the doing.”
saintstephenstl.org
Jack’s extraordinary gift made Mr. McCullough
question his image of the “Ideal Student” that teachers
like him expect all young men and women to aspire to and anything short of that is a disappointment, a
personal affront, a sign, even, of a deficient character.
“Whether Jack goes on to become an artist or an
engineer or anything else directly consequent to his
enthusiasm for model making does not matter,”
McCullough writes. “He has learned something about
passion, about focus, about clearing a space in his life
and doing what he does purely because he loves and
believes in it. He has honed a set of abilities, too.
Developed standards of his own measure and sees to it
that he meets them. He knows, then, the satisfactions of
seeing with purpose, conceiving ideas, dedicating
himself to them, and producing good work. In choosing
and doing for himself, he earns his confidence and selfworth. Very good things, these, and I hope, lifelong.”
Jack is the very antithesis of the terrified servant
in today’s Gospel: While the servant in the Gospel
“buries his talent” out of fear for incurring the wrath
of his master, Jack finds joy and meaning in his
artistic skills and possesses a passion for
developing and learning more - and (finally) he also
earns the encouragement of a teacher. Too often we
can become someone’s demanding, hard “master”:
judging them harshly, dismissing their ideas,
treating them mercilessly when they fail, making
unreasonable demands of them, refusing to accept
and appreciate what they can contribute to the good
of all. Jesus calls uato be aware of the many gifts of
those around us, to honor them as blessings from
God, and do all that we can to encourage them to
develop their “talents” for good of all and the praise
of their Giver.
From: Connections, November 2014

English Tutoring Project
The Mission of the English Tutoring Project (ETP) is
to help immigrant children learn English. This year Sr.
Joan Stoverink ASC works with children at SSP whose
parents are immigrants or refugees. She provides
onsight English language tutoring. This service is
provided at no cost to the families of the students or the
schools participating in the program.
Currently ETP partners with Holy Trinity, St. Cecilia,
St. Frances Cabrini and St. Stephen Protomartyr. There
are 105 students from eleven different countries of origin
at the four schools. These countries are: Burma, Congo,
Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Liberia, Malaysia,
Mexica, Thailand and Vietnam.
The ETP newsletter recounted this success story.
“We are extremely proud of a former student from
St. John the Baptist who is now attending St. Stephen
Protomartyr school. After receiving ETP services for
over three years, she achieved language proficiency and
�graduated’ from our program. This year, she is doing so
well at her new school that she asked to be part of the
speech team. She participated in her first meet in early
November and she did a solo. It is truly a success story
to celebrate!”

You’re invited to a prayerful, holistic day of reflection for Advent, incorporating mind, body and spirit. Please join South
Grand Senior Ministry on Monday, December 1st from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at St. Anthony of
Padua parish hall, 3135 Meramec Street.

togethers can pull us out of our normal routine and make us feel a half bubble off. Sr. Carol Orf
and Sr. Ginny Jaskiewicz, Sisters of the Most Precious Blood, will help us to get away from the
noise, busyness and stresses of life to experience God’s presence. They are co-directors of the
Sanguis Christi Spirituality Center in South St. Louis and will lead the morning reflection.
Eileen Kinsella, a certified teacher in Body-Mind CenteringВ® and registered Somatic Movement Therapist and
Educator, will lead the afternoon reflection. Using gentle movements wrapped with an invitation to drop into awareness,
participants will deepen into reflection on the theme of balance in the Advent season.
Give yourself a few hours of self-care and enjoy this complimentary day including lunch. Please make your reservation
by calling Barb Salmo at 314-655-0554 no later than November 24th.
