have that others do not have, rather than the things that
others have and they do not.

“Our Children’s Stewardship”
Remind children that their prayers should also include a prayer asking God to tell them what He wants them to do. Too often, we do all the talking in our prayer and we never take time to listen to hear what God might want to say to us. Teach children to begin every day by asking God what He wants them to do for Him today.
“Everyday-Everyway Stewards”
We are grateful this week for all steward disciples in our parish who try to view God as the source of all things.
This Week’s Stewardship of Time and Talent Salute
We salute all our parishioners who are working to get the St. Jerome’s Prologue to the “Commentary on Isaiah”: word out that Initiative 1000 is a bad step for our state.
Stewardship Message
“Let us know, let us strive to know the Lord: as certain as the dawn is his coming.” Hosea 6:3
Just as in the Parable of the Talents, our God is the owner of everything. He is the master who has entrusted many gifts to us. Someday He will return and ask, “What did you do with the gifts I gave to you? Will He be pleased with our report? Will we hear His invitation to lasting joy, “Well done, my good and faithful servant…Come, share your master’s joy.” Matthew 25:21

Thanks from Catholic Family & Child Service
Catholic Family & Child Service would like to extend our sincerest gratitude and a heartfelt Thank You to the Board of Directors, donors, attendees and volunteers for all you have done to make the 21st Annual Gala Dinner & Auction, “A Black Pearl Affair”, such a tremendous success! Together, you helped us increase attendance to 600 and raise over $131,000 to help bring hopeand services to over 11,000 children, families and elders in need in our community! In a changing world that sometimes seems so uncertain, your support will provide stability and a safety net for so many right in our own backyard. On their behalf, we thank you for your stabilizing influence and the compassion you show to the less fortunate. Christ once said that “Whatsoever you do unto the least of these, you do unto Me.” On behalf of the least among us, Thank You for your generous support
Stewardship Message
“And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand.” Matthew 7:26
We all invest so much time, energy and resources into building our material home. Yet, it is not our permanent home. Our true home will be with God someday. Do we spend time, talent and treasure to build a strong foundation for our heavenly home? Or do we only put our efforts into an earthly home, which will be blown away like sand?
This Week’s Stewardship of Time and Talent Salute
We salute all our parishioners who have children graduating from pre-school through college. Working each day to guide and cherish the gift of the child God gave you is a true act of stewardship.
“Everyday-Everyway Stewards”
We are grateful this week for all steward disciples in our parish who try to share from their “first fruits.”
“Our Children’s Stewardship”
It is possible to live in imitation of Christ. Young and old alike, we all struggle daily to be true to who God calls us to be. The Church, especially through her sacraments, is there to nourish and guide you. It is a day-by-day journey, and the way may not always be clear. Daily prayer and weekly attendance at the Eucharist will be a tremendous help in enabling you to find your way.
