“The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.”  St. Francis Of Assisi

"There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; 

there are different forms of service but the same Lord; 

there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone." 1 Corinthians 12:4-6

Our Parish offers different opportunities for returning our gifts of time and talent to God. 

As stewards of God-given skills and abilities, volunteering in a ministry or organization provides a way to thank God, share our faith with others, and enhance our community.  

• Stewardship – from the U.S. Bishops’ Pastoral Letter

  What identifies a steward?  Safeguarding material and human resources and using them responsibly are one answer; so is generous giving of Time, Talent and Treasure.
  
  According to the 1992 U.S. Bishops' Pastoral Letter, “Stewardship:  A Disciple’s Response”, a steward is defined as a disciple of Jesus who "receives God's gifts gratefully, cultivates them responsibly, shares them lovingly in justice with others and returns them with increase to the Lord."
  
  Good servants live with joy and gratitude for the blessings they have received, including those that have multiplied through diligence and hard work.
  
  Indeed, good stewards live in communion with Christ, and through Christ and the Spirit, Strive to return all gifts to the Father " with an increase."
  
  The pastoral letter’s challenge that we embrace stewardship as an expression of discipleship with the “power to change how we understand and live out our lives” continues to engage lay people, religious men and women, priests, deacons, and bishops.  This challenge is just as powerful today as in 1992, as a new generation of Catholics is introduced to the biblical concept of stewardship and embraces “the call to follow Jesus and imitate his way of life.”
  
  This pastoral letter has served as an indispensable way to communicate a vision and extend an invitation to Christian people to “grasp the fact that they are no less than ‘God’s co-workers’ (1 Corinthians 3:9), with their own particular share in his creative, redemptive, and sanctifying work.”
