Our annual Stewardship Sunday is grounded firmly in a deep sense of gratitude. I invite you again to reflect on the abundant gifts that God has given us, remembering that the gifts that we have been given were meant to be shared.
I invite you to take some time this to pray and reflect and ask Jesus, through the intercession of his mother, what he wishes to tell you, in preparation for Stewardship Sunday.
This week, registered parishioners received in the mail our annual financial report and mission update, both of which speak to God’s blessings here at Nativity of Our Lord and the generous response of our parishioners to his goodness.
Fr. Patrick previews the upcoming Stewardship Weekend, thanks and honors the Nativity County Fair leadership, and briefly recaps the open parish discussions.
