Stewards Filled with the Holy Spirit: “The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.” ACTS 13:52
Because the disciples heard Our Lord’s call, they were able to spread the Gospel message with strength and vitality. Stewards, too, can experience that same joy if we take time to open our hearts, listen to God, ask for His direction and allow the Holy Spirit to guide our lives and our decisions.
04/10/16 – Collection: $8,972.00 Candles: $208.00
Green Mass: $184.00
Home Mission Collection will be taken next weekend. This appeal works to support home mission dioceses in the U.S. by supporting seminarian formation in poor dioceses. The blessing of seminarians places a financial burden on these dioceses, because educating each seminarian costs $35-40K per year. Your support is needed for these young men so that they might go back and serve their parishes. Please be generous and help strengthen the church at home.
