child psychologist and catechetical author, will speak on Forming

Catholic Conscience in Children and Youth on Wednesday,

Stewardship Report

Weekend Collection August 22 and 23, 2015

The figures for the weekly contributions

were not available at time of publication

“Every worthwhile gift, every genuine benefit,

comes from above,” says St. James in the second

reading. But, he reminds us, true worship of God

involves using those good gifts to benefit the less

fortunate. Good stewardship is not optional;

it is the hallmark of our faith! See James 1:17.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul On September 9, the Church celebrates the feast of Blessed Frederic

Ozanam, the founder of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Frederic

heard the call of Jesus to love and serve those who are suffering. In

the poor, he found the face of Christ. Through your gifts, the Society

of St. Vincent de Paul is able to carry out the mission of Blessed

Frederic Ozanam by providing families with food, furniture, and

money for utilities, rent, and other bills.

and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen!”
