Page 4 Stewardship a Way of Life This Week’s Readings Good stewards follow the advice of St. Paul and conduct themselves—by wise use of their time and talents—in a way worthy of the Gospel of Christ. “If you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.” Living Stewardship We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who give not because they have a lot and can afford it, but because they are grateful for what they do have and desire to share it with others.

Our offices will be open during the summer months from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or by appointment. Registration is ongoing for those entering Level 1 in the fall and all new students of any grade level. All Level 1 students must register even if there is an older sibling already in the program. If you know a Catholic family with a child entering 1st grade in September please remind them to register their child for Level 1 as soon as possible.

The summer is moving quickly and here in our religious education office we are busy putting children into classes for the upcoming religious education year. Unfortunately, we have a good number of students for whom there is no one to catechize them. We need faith filled people to teach these classes so that all our children can receive adequate formation in the faith. Teaching children their faith is important for they will be the future of our Church. Catechists do not have to have children in the program and you can share the duties with a spouse, friend or even a teenage son or daughter. We provide all the materials and support you will need. Think about it. In this Year of Faith, why not make a commitment to keep the faith going strong by becoming a catechist to a group of our children. All volunteers over 18 must fill out a volunteer registration form and attend a VIRTUS (Protecting God’s Children) session. Please call the Religious Education Office for more information (678-2306). We are open Monday thru Friday between 9:00 and 4:00. Level 4 need 3: One catechist each on Tuesdays at 4:30, 5:45 and 7:00 Level 5 need one catechist on Tuesday at 5:45 Level 6 need one catechist on Monday at 4:30 Level 7 need one catechist on Tuesdays at 7:00 Level 8 –Facilitators are needed to lead Level 8 discussion groups. This will not be as involved as if you were teaching a class. Level 8 will meet every other week on a Wednesday evening from 7:00-8:30. Call the religious education office for more information on Level 8 and leave a message for Deacon Andy. Are you or someone you know interested in becoming a Catholic? Sessions continue during the summer following the 11:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday. Call the Religious Education Office for information about the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. (678-2306)
