Time
It is interesting to write down how we spend our time. God
asks us to give some of our time to our religious life, to be connected with
our family and community at Mass each Sunday, to be with our families and
friends but also to share with those in need. Could you give some time to help
at St. Rose?
Talent
Is there something that you are able to do that you could
share with other parishioners? Often we put our gifts into categories thinking
that some gifts are holy and others aren't but really there are endless
possibilities. We need your ideas to help create a parish that can foster an
attitude of care and concern for all people. " The gift you have received,
give as a gift."
Treasure
Financial assistance is important but not the only part of
stewardship. While we don't like to think of basic expenses as important, they
are necessary for the upkeep of the church. The many ministries and especially
parish outreach need your financial support.
