REFLECTION

“Be doers of the word and not hearers only…” JAMES 1:22

It’s easy to understand the definition of stewardship. The hard part is living it! What do you

do to live God’s word? Do you share your time in prayer with God? Do you use your talent

to help those in need? Are you generous with your financial resources? If not, what are you

waiting for?

LEAVE A LEGACY: You make a significant gift to our parish that costs you nothing

during your lifetime. Consider including our parish in your will.

word into action?
