CATECHETICAL SUNDAY

E ach year, the Catholic Church in the United States designates the third Sunday in September as “Catechetical Sun-day”– a day on which to celebrate and pray for the Church’s mission to teach the Gospel to all people.

Catechist are those who are responding to a call to share the gift of faith with others. They are called to serve through teaching, witness, prayer, service and building community. We want to pray for the following people who are going to serve as Catechists in our Faith Formation Program K-8th Grades this year. We thank God that they said YES to this wonderful ministry of Passing on the Faith to the Next Generation.

Bible Study Starts Soon When we study the Bible - both the Old and the New Testament we discover that God's most funda-mental attribute is mercy. The God revealed in Scriptures suffers with his creation and has a heart for the poor and lost. Again and again, God demonstrates faithful love for the world and calls people to a joyful and abundant life. In this study, Stephen J. Binz helps individuals and groups open the door to the heart of Scripture - the heart of Di-vine Mercy. Our study starts on September 29th at 10:00 AM or at 7:00 PM in Madden Hall and lasts for seven weeks. Cost is $13.00. For information, or to register, please contact Sr. Carol Gnau:

cgnau@sjbsummerville.org. or 843-873-0631.

What is Alpha? Alpha/Catholic is an opportunity to explore the validity and rele-vance of the Christian faith for our lives today. It is a practical and exciting introduction to the basics of Christianity with loads of op-portunity for debate and discus-sion. The style of Alpha is informal, friendly and non-threatening. No matter what your background, whether investigating Christianity for the first time or revisiting your faith, you are likely to get a lot out of Alpha.

It’s Not Too Late to Join Us! Tuesdays from 7pm-9pm in Madden Hall

Program is Free! Dinner is Provided! To register, email office@sjbsummerville.org

or call 843-873-0631

Scripture Reflection

Although we may not immediately perceive them, Holy Scripture is filled with references to steward-ship and what it means. Today’s Gospel from St. Luke that includes the Parable of the Dishonest Stew-ard is more pointed and direct than many of those references.

Retired Bishop Robert Morneau — who was instru-mental in the development of the United States Bish-ops’ pastoral letter, Stewardship: A Disciple’s Re-sponse, and has been a popular presenter on stew-ardship for decades — is fond of saying that on Judg-ment Day, the Lord will only ask us one question, “What have you done with the garden I have given you?” In other words, we are all gifted, perhaps in different ways, but whatever gifts we receive might be considered our garden from God. We must ac-count for those gifts.

The whole concept of stewardship is clear in today’s parable. The steward is the manager (not the owner) of the master’s gifts. God is, of course, the manager, and we are the stewards who are charged with the responsibility of overseeing our gifts of time, talent, treasure and perhaps even influence. Do we use those gifts wisely and with justice?

That is the point we must get from this Gospel. Our Holy Father Pope Francis understood the significance of being a steward when he recently said, “In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protec-tion, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God’s gifts.” As the Lord says to the steward in today’s Gospel, “The person who is trustworthy in very small matters is also trustworthy in great ones.”
