Stewardship Corner ~ Hope does not disappoint because the love
of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit
that has been given to us. ROMANS 5:5
In the middle of the reading today is this statement: “yet is
their hope full of immortality.” Our hope in the Lord is completely
connected to both our humanity as sinners and to our belief in
everlasting life. Comprehending this is what fills us with hope,
and living our lives in stewardship for the tremendous gift of this
is what fulfills us.
The Lord says, “…everyone who sees the son and believes in him
may have eternal life.” When we say, “Our hope is in the Lord,”
this is exactly what we mean. When we are hungry, we know that food
will solve the problem. Here however, we are speaking of a
spiritual hunger. Our lives are filled with times of despair, and
perhaps sadness. It is hope in the promise of Christ, our hope in
salvation and eternal lives of joy with the Lord that allow us to
live with a positive outlook on life. Stewardship is the approach
filled with hope, and thus joy. It allows us to live life in a
loving way that gives back to God and helps us to recognize those
gifts we have been given.
For more about hope, and to see Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclical
letter on Christian Hope, Spe Salvi, see

Our Student Council was officially installed after our First
Friday Liturgy on October 3 and since
then has been working hard learning the many ways that
leadership is a valuable skill. Our beginning
goals have focused on many things to help our school and to
offer support for others. Student
Council members led the school on October 7th in praying the
rosary, honoring the
Feast of the Holy Rosary.
Our Fall Fun lollipops sale has been very successful; over 500
have been sold. The first monies
raised will be going to help with the supportive and educational
services the Child Life program
provides for the patients at the A.I. duPont hospital for
Children. Student Council will also host
our neighboring ABVM 6th -8th graders for a social this month,
collecting donations for
Neighborhood Services and preparing to join in a yearly
opportunity of support with
the Signing Time Foundation and La Sicilia.
