Stewardship Reflection
Stewardship Evokes Trust
“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petitions, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.” ~Philippians 4:6-7 St. Paul reminds us that our God is an abundant God, the ultimate giver of gifts. He promises to give us all that we need. When we live Stewardship, and trust that God will take care of us, it is easier for us to share what we have been given.


Retirement Fund for the Religious
Religious face rising costs. Data submitted to the National Religious Retirement Office reveals that the average annual cost of care for women and men religious age 70 and over has more than doubled since 1989. Current statistics put this figure at $35,077 per person annually, with skilled care reaching nearly $55,000. Your donation to the Retirement Fund for Religious provides critical support to religious institutes in meeting the escalating costs of elder care.

Stewardship Reflection
Stewards Stand Erect
“But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise you heads because your
redemption is at hand.’” (Luke 21:28)
Images of the final judgment can be scary. However, living as good Stewards, we have carefully planned our giving and followed Our Lord’s example of service and sacrifice. Thus, no matter the day or the hour we will be ready to stand erect and raise our heads to meet God face to face.
