Stewardship Message
October 19, 2014
Weekday Masses and Intentions
“Give to God the things
that are God’s”. Jesus’
words remind us that
everything we have
belongs to God…how
then do we give to him?
Paying taxes; making
mortgage or rent
payments; paying tuitions; giving to church and charity; paying
all of our day-to-day bills – when these are done with joy and
gratitude to God, we are giving God what is His… our lives.

Gratitude Sunday
Thank you for placing your cards of gratitude at the altar for
thanksgiving. Just over 300 people chose to write a card of
gratitude.
Our parishioners expressed gratitude for a wide range of items
including faith, our parish, family, health, and freedom.
Statements of gratitude included, I am grateful for … “everything
the good Lord has given us. For all his blessings, his mercy, his
healing and his love. With a grateful heart, I give thanks,” “For
the opportunity to share the Catholic faith with my children,” For
my life and all the good things I have been given. Most of all that
I was baptized Catholic, to love and serve God,” and “being able
to come to Mass and receive the Eucharist and to share my gifts
with the less fortunate.”
Lost & Found: There are several items in the lost and found
ranging from eye glasses to clothes. Items not claimed before
Friday, October 31st, will be donated to charity.
