REFLECTION

“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.

LEAVE A LEGACY: You make a significant gift to our parish that costs you nothing

during your lifetime. Consider including our parish in your will.
