This Lent, we invite you to reflect on how you are called to live as a steward of all God has entrusted to you. Consider ways you can deepen your commitment to stewardship stewardship whether through increased participation in parish life, volunteering your time, or giving generously to support the work of the Church.

Thank you for your continued generosity. May this season of Lent draw you closer to Christ as we all strive to live more fully as faithful stewards of God s love and grace.

“No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who that year ate of the yield of the land of Canaan. - JOSHUA 5:12

God s blessings to us may change over the years but it is important to trust that God will always provide his Stewards with all that we need. In this season of Lent, let us strive to be generous stewards of the blessings God has given us. As we fast from distractions and focus on the needs of others, let us also offer our time, talents, and treasure as a way to grow closer to God and advance His Kingdom on earth.

Planned giving offers a meaningful way to support the Church s mission beyond our lifetime. By making a gift through your will, trust, or other planned giving options, you can help secure the future of our parish and Archdiocese, ensuring that the vital ministries that sustain our faith community continue to thrive for many years to come.

When you register in the parish, come to mass on Sundays and participate in parish activities, you are practicing your faith and are considered an active parishioner. When you use the offertory envelops or online giving, you are showing your commitment in supporting your parish, as well as creating a record of your active presence in the community. Registration is required for receiving any parish official document, such as eligibility certificates to be godparents, permits to celebrate sacraments in other churches, school verification for children, or any other letter for legal purposes. Registration for at least six months is required for the celebration of sacraments.

Registration forms are available online or by calling the parish office (954) 458-1590.
