mail them to the parish or put them in next weekend’s offertory or
bring them to the Parish Office. We would like to have them back to the
parish as soon as possible, so schedules can be created and mailed to
parishioners. (If you did not have a chance to pick up your
Stewardship packet you can pick them up at the Parish Office.) Thank
you for your Stewardship to the Parish and our Community!
True charity requires courage: let us overcome the fear of getting our
hands dirty so as to help others in need. (Pope Francis tweeted 9/21/13)
Am I fearlessly generous in service?
How will I get my hands dirty for others this week?
