Stewardship by the Book
The Scriptures today remind us that Awe, many though we are, are one body for we all partake of the one loaf. How are we using our gifts of time and talent to build up the body of Christ?


Vocation View
That we can collaborate with God is a humbling truth. That God lives among us is startling. That we are the Body of Christ is our vocation.


Stewardship Reflections
“Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.”   1 CORINTHIANS 10:17

As disciples of Jesus, we are called to lead holy lives and invite others to join us.  Living a stewardship lifestyle, being grateful and generous with our gifts, serves a twofold purpose.  One, it helps build God’s kingdom here on earth.  Two, it helps us strengthen each other’s relationship with God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  It becomes our roadmap to Heaven.  Let’s help each other get there!


Family Perspective
Parenting is a Eucharistic activity because from the first moment of conception children consume us, our flesh, blood, energy, time and resources.  If we don’t sacrifice ourselves, our children would not have life. This is the priesthood of parenting. Christ is present in this self-sacrifice.


Abuse of Minors or Vulnerable Adults by Priests, Deacons or Others
To report allegations of sexual abuse of minors or vulnerable adults within the Diocese of Gaylord by priests, deacons or other employees or volunteers, regardless of when it occurred, individuals should: Contact local law enforcement and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (855-444-3911). The Michigan Attorney General’s Office has also set up a special phone line for people to share information that may be of help in their ongoing investigation of sexual misconduct by Catholic clergy.

In the State of Michigan many professionals, including clergy, teachers, doctors, counselors and named others are mandated reporters. This means such individuals are REQUIRED to make an oral or online report IMMEDIATELY to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services if they suspect a child is being neglected or abused in any way. Individuals may call the state report line at the number above, which is answered 24 hours a day, or submit a report online at https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/0,5885,7-339-73971_7119---00.html.
