Stewardship Reflection

“And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on

her and said to her, ‘Do not weep.’” LUKE 7:13

This verse is a great reminder that the Stewardship

lifestyle is one of service, putting God first and to

“love one another.” Unfortunately today, many peo-

ple have “passion” for activities they enjoy - their job

and off-work activities. Many times our “passion” to

excel is at the expense of someone else. Maybe we

need to focus on a little less passion for our individu-

al concerns and a lot more compassion for others.

The rectory offices will be closed

on Monday, July 4 in ob-

servance of Independence Day. A

7:30 a.m. Mass will be cele-

brated. The rectory will be closed on Fridays

beginning July 8 and we will resume regular

Friday office hours on September 9. During

that time, we will celebrate one Mass on week-

days at 7:30 a.m.
