PARISH STEWARDSHIP RENEWAL
 

"Everything I have is Yours"

2007-2008

 

On the weekend of Nov. 10/11, 2007 we began our first stewardship renewal. During the course of three weekends we will focus on what stewardship is all about; what it means to be good and faithful stewards, and how stewardship as a way of life can indeed shape all we do as families, members of the parish, and citizens. The concept of stewardship is rooted in the idea of gratitude and responsibility. It calls us to live best possible lives we can, and embrace Christian discipleship with joy and enthusiasm. The three major components of stewardship are TIME, TALENT AND TREASURE. These are gifts given to us by God to be returned to him proportionally and gratefully and shared among all members of our community generously. To learn more about stewardship visit our stewardship page on this website.

 

We would like to sincerely thank members of our parish Stewardship Committee for their hard work in preparation for our first stewardship renewal: Sr. Maureen Hickey, Deacon Gary and Betty Miller, Tony Andriski, John Donohue and those who have helped prepare the mailings and other materials. God's peace be with you as we embrace stewardship as a way of life remembering that indeed "Everything we have belongs to God."

FOR MARRIED COUPLES, ENGAGED COUPLES, FOR YOUR MARRIAGE: RESOURCES FOR LIVING HAPPILY EVERY AFTER FROM THE UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS: The Catholic Church cares about your marriage. In fact, the U.S. Catholic bishops are working hard to make marriage a priority (see National Pastoral Initiative for Marriage). Every marriage matters, because marriage comes from the hand of God. Every marriage matters, because marriage comes from the hand of God. God brings a man and a woman together to love and support each other. Their love becomes visible in the children they bring into the world and in their acts of generous service.
