Stewardship by the Book
The Psalmist assures us that Athe Lord hears the poor.@ Often, however, He answers their need through the generous gifts of good stewards.ctivities “Pray for


Vocation View
“And as you go, preach, saying the ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’” How has Jesus called you to help Him build his Church?


Stewardship Reflections
“Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.” MATTHEW 10:32

Would others know that you are Catholic by the way you act and speak?  Do you share your Catholic faith with others?  Do you defend your Catholic faith when the situation arises or do you remain silent?  Do you pray in public before meals?  Pray for the strength and courage to be a joyful witness of our Catholic faith when the opportunity presents itself.  Let us become the radiant light and bold witness that we are called to be!


Family Perspective
Fathering is an awesome responsibility and not for the weak or transient.  Today we humbly recognize our need for courageous fathers to stand boldly in the face of the powerful cultural forces in our culture which threaten our children. Today we ask fathers to be the courageous leaders we need.


Word of Life
“Through our prayers and through the intercession of St. Joseph, patron of fathers, may fathers come to know the irreplaceable role they hold in the lives of their children, and the responsibility they share in welcoming God’s gift of new life!
