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.
