STEWARDSHIP CORNER – THE NATIVITY OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST
“Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.” – ACTS 13:25
Stewardship is a lifestyle, it’s not a program or a process. It’s how we are called to live our lives twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week! It challenges us to live “God-centered” lives, not “self-centered” lives. Reflect on your daily activities, do you do them for the glory of God or for the glory of your own name?

There will be a third Collection this weekend June 23/24 for Peter’s Pence – the annual collection for the Holy Father.
