Hospitality

"Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels."

HEBREWS 13:1-2

We strive to make every parishioner and guest feel welcomed and appreciated in our parishes. We are one body – one community in Christ. The Pillar of Hospitality brings parishioners together through social activities to foster fellowship and strengthen our union as a parish and with God. These activities help build relationships and encourage involvement in our parish ministries and service opportunities. In turn, Catholics grow in their faith and desire to evangelize and extend the same hospitality to those outside of our own community.

Prayer

"Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God."

PHILIPPIANS 4:6

Prayer brings us closer to God. Spending time with God in prayer is part of being a Christian steward. Through prayer, Christian stewards place themselves in God's hands so He can direct their hands to serve according to His will. It is through prayer and participation in the Mass that we learn to recognize, receive, accept and share God's grace and giftedness in love of God and neighbor.

Formation

"I, the Lord, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you on the way you should go."

ISAIAH 46:17

To grow as Christian stewards, all Catholics, young and old, must receive ongoing education (formation) in the faith. An understanding of stewardship is essential to bringing us closer to God because stewardship leads us to holiness. Formation of each individual becomes part of the formation of the parish community. As members of the Body of Christ, the parish recognizes it has a call from God to give and share His giftedness. Inherent within each individual is the need to give – to move from selflessness. Formation helps ignite and inspire a life-long journey of conversion. As on grows more deeply in formation, the more deeply one loves as God loves us. This is true for the individual steward and for the stewardship parish; as individuals grow in God, so too does the entire parish.

Service

"If I, therefore, the Master and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do."

JOHN 13:14-15

We strive to be servant ministers to the needs of our parish members, the wider community and Church. We strive to serve compassionately those who are hurting or in need, lost or alone, or suffering in any way. We give thanks to God for all the gifts we have received, and we celebrate the special events in the lives of parishioners.
