STEWARDSHIP by the BOOK-January 15, 2017

Today’s responsorial Psalm is the theme song of the good steward: “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.” May I, too, stand ready to offer myself and my gifts in the service of God.

THANK YOU. I would like to take a moment and thank everyone here at Our Lady Star of the Sea for everything that you have done and continue to do for our parish.

I am honored by the opportunity given to serve you in the capacity of Deacon and I wish a Happy New Year to you and your families. I pray that God continues to bless each and every one of you throughout the year. Deacon Alberto

THANK YOU-- Father Chris Muldoon, Mrs. Jaye

Hedrick, and our staff - Susan Lavin, Patricia Connolly, and John O’Connor, wish to thank everyone who sent cards and gifts to us over the Christmas Season. We appreciate the generosity of all who baked desserts and dropped off food, cookies and

candy. Now it’s time to get back to “Ordinary Time” which means attempting to lose those extra pounds we so enjoyed putting on.

IN REMEMBRANCE The faculty of memory is truly powerful. It enables us to recall incidents in our lives that occurred many years ago. We remember family members who have died and who have returned home to the Lord. We remember them through the photographs we carry, the letters we have saved and through gifts they gave us. Their presence to us remains strong and vibrant. We remember them in other tangible ways. This Christmas many people have donated a poinsettia on our altar in memory of a loved one. The following people were remembered in our sanctuary this Christmas:
