Bishop Felipe Estévez has released his latest Pastoral Letter on Stewardship on the spirituality of stewardship.
As we near the end of Holy Family’s 5-Year Pastoral Plan, the Stewardship Committee has finished their final project. They, with the help of the Men’s Club and the Cenacolo Community, constructed a cross illustrating pictures of events representing Stewardship in our parish. The cross depicts Imago Dei (“ image of God”). It shows that Holy Family is a vibrant parish with many talented and giving parishioners. The picture Cross is on display the in the Narthex. Be sure to pick up a Stewardship Review of testimonials from parishioners and read about how they walk the path of discipleship in their everyday lives. After the weekend, the cross will be permanently displayed in the Parish Life Center lobby and the picture tiles will be changed out periodically to display on-going stewardship efforts.

The Stewardship Committee would like to affirm how our parish is spreading the Joy of Christ throughout our city, diocese, state, nation and world.

HOLY FAMILY PARISH STEWARDSHIP PRAYER
Dear God,
We praise and thank you for your abiding presence in our lives.
In Your loving kindness, you have blessed our Holy Family Parish
with an abundance of gifts.
United in one Baptism and one faith,
we recognize that all that we have,
all that we are,
and all that we will be
comes from You.
Guide us, so that we may thoughtfully discern our gifts,
prayerfully nurture them
and generously share them with others.
Through your Holy Spirit,
change our hearts so that we may become more committed to faithful discipleship.
Give us wisdom for the journey and provide us with the courage
to remain steadfast in the work of providing acts of service and generous giving.
Help us to faithfully live out our mission to serve You and one another.
Enable us to use wisely the gifts of all in our community
so that they may bear fruit for your Kingdom in abundance.
With grateful hearts, we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
United in Christ,
Growing in Christ,
Serving Christ in One Another
