Stewardship of Time, Talent, and Treasure

September 6, 2025

Stewardship of Time, Talent, and Treasure
Fr. Skip reflects on stewardship as a sacred responsibility and an act of gratitude, not obligation. Rooted in Psalm 24, he reminds us that everything belongs to the Lord, and we are called to return a portion of our gifts through prayer, service, and generosity. He thanks the parish for its faith-filled giving and announces that the Parish Finance Council will soon host sessions to share the diocesan Annual Financial Report. He also highlights new opportunities for discipleship, including the launch of That Man Is You!, the growth of Young Adult Ministry, and expanded Faith Formation programs.
