Stewardship Corner

As we pray today for an increase of spiritual gifts, we are reminded by the bishops’ pastoral on stewardship that good stewardship of the Church “means cherishing and fostering the gifts of all, while using one’s own gifts to serve the community of faith.”

Leave a Legacy All the riches in the world have nothing to do with eternal life. God is good in giving us many things in this world. We must use them wisely, and pass them on generously. Today is the perfect time to talk to attorney or financial advisor about estate planning that will provide for the need not only of family, but also of charities and church in the years to come.

Lecture at the Newman Center The Historical Jesus and the Kingdom of God Oct. 14^th, 7:30 pm by Dr. Robert J. Miller Christianity has interpreted Jesus’ teaching of the Kingdom of God to be about a heavenly afterlife or even the ideal Christian church. However, the historical Jesus was a Jew, not a Christian, and he announced that the Kingdom of God was already here on earth, not something later in heaven. This presentation will explain the historical evidence for this understanding of Jesus and explore what Jesus meant by his paradoxical teaching that the Kingdom of God is already here. The Newman Center will be accepting donations for this lecture in order to reimburse Dr. Miller for his travels.

Music at St. Bernard’s and St. Joseph’s Voices are needed, no experience necessary! Come support and represent the parish in many upcoming Holiday programs.
