Stewardship Reflection
Stewards Serve Others
“For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters.
But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh;
rather serve one another through love.” (Galatians 5:13 )
We like to celebrate the fact that we are free to “live the good life.”
But Jesus calls us to Stewardship. St. Paul reminds us that Jesus sets
us free so that we can serve one another, share our gifts and promote
God’s work here on earth to glorify His name and not honor ourselves.

privacy. In that regard, we do not give out non-published phone
numbers and we do not give out addresses. We also do not assume
that it is ok to place someone’s name on the bulletin sick list unless
we have permission from the person or their representative. We do
not remove names from the sick list unless we are notified that it is
ok to do so, or at the instruction of Fr. Gerard. It is also our practice, for the sake of everyone’s privacy, not to publish the names of
the sick in the bulletin that appears on our parish website.
