I hope each one of you realize how important to the body of Christ and to the parish of St. Vincent de Paul. A couple of weeks ago we had a stewardship meeting and to get better acquainted we went around the room and each person gave a brief bio of themselves and it was interesting to hear them say that all I do is this or that ministry. We must realize that whatever we do is very important to the parish and to us as we give back to God a portion of what He has given us. Stewardship is much more than money. It is a way of life.
Stewardship is concerned with our time, our talent and our treasure.
Last Sunday Fr. Danny asked what we were doing with the gifts we have been given. That is what stewardship is all about. I remember when I was involved with the commercial world how I gave to my work. I spent extra hours creating programs to help the company and myself grow.
