Stewardship Bulletin Bit“Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with
you!”
—Luke 1:28
After Jesus, we look to Mary as an ideal steward. Her entire
life was lived in obedience to God’s call. Just as the moon
reflects the light of the sun, Mary reflects the light of Christ.
Like Mary, we are called to reflect Christ’s light to the world
through our gratitude and generosity.

“We are all one family in the world. Building a community that
empowers everyone to attain their full potential through each of us
respecting each other’s dignity, rights and respon- sibilities
makes the world a better place to live.” —Saint John Paul II,
Sollicitudo rei socialis
It is a simple fact that we cannot live and exist well
independently of others. sOLIDARITY looks upon our interdependence
as something good, positive, and to be cherished. The image St Paul
gives us of the Body of Christ (that we are all individual parts
that together make up the Body of Christ) gives us a visual way to
think of this.

had 31 teams enter, producing $3,100 for the Building Fund. A full
list of winners, and the creative team names, is posted on our
website.
