Stewardship Awareness “Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you!” 1 Kings 19-7 Jesus knows that our stewardship journey will be difficult; we are not designed to do it on our own. Fortunately, Jesus gave us the greatest gift of all - the gift of the Eucharist; His own body and blood. When we join our sacrifices with the sacrifice of the Mass, we find the strength and courage to be His joyful disciples.

On behalf of my entire family, I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to everyone who has shown us so much love and support in the wake of Geri’s passing. To everyone that sent cards, brought meals to our home, provided food and served the luncheon, we are extremely grateful. Thank you to Father Bob and the choir for making the funeral Mass such a beautiful tribute for a beautiful person. Your kind words and actions are a true testament to Geri’s legacy. It will not be for-gotten.
