STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT
Today’s feast marks the anniversary of the dedication
of the Cathedral Church in Rome – the Pope’s Church
as Bishop of Rome. Today serves as a reminder of the
call of Pope Francis to go out into the streets and serve
the poor. Have we been faithful stewards of this great call to
humble and loving service? Have we answered the call of
Francis, and ultimately, of Jesus?
