Stewardship and Development
Stewardship Thought: The subject of conversion is present in todays Scripture passages. The prophet Isaiah describes images of deliverance from evils and dangers. An imprisoned St. Paul writes to the Philippi community, For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish. St. Paul has transformed his former life of sin, including the persecution of Christians, to a new life in which he proclaims the Lords salvation message to the Gentiles. In the Gospel, Jesus does not condemn the woman accused of adultery, but asks her to sin no more to convert her life to one free of this sin. We, as Christian stewards, acknowledge that conversion from sin produces a change of heart and mind, and brings us closer to discipleship in the Lord.

Good Friday Collection
Christians around the world are united in a special way during Lent, Holy Week and Easter. Our hearts, minds and prayers are also especially aware of the Holy Land. Our parish, once a year on Good Friday, is called on to support Christians in the Holy Land. Many Christians in the Holy Land depend on the collection for their lives. As a pontifical collection requested by Pope Benedict XVI, the annual Good Friday Collection offers a direct link for parishioners to be witnesses of peace and to help protect the Holy Places. When you donate on Good Friday, you are supporting Christians in the Holy Land. Franciscans and others in the Holy Land are housing and feeding the poor, providing religious formation and education, maintaining shrines and parishes, and conducting pastoral ministry. For more information, visit www.myfranciscan.org.

Faithful Citizenship Quote
"A Catholic politician or a Catholic voter can not separate himself or herself from his or her moral responsibility. You cannot choose when and where to be Catholic and that includes political life and voter responsibility." -- Cardinal Renato Martino, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, Vatican City
Mass Intentions As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer. The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!
