Using God's Gifts - Using God's gifts of time, talent, and treasure are vital in continuing to make our parish a living symbol and testimony of our love for Jesus Christ. Every offering, in every form, given to the Lord is a blessed one and such generosity and gratitude are critical to one's faith and to the mission, ministries, and activities of our Church. Please give where you can so that, together, we can support, sustain, and nurture our community as we continue our spiritual pilgrimage to Heaven, remembering the words of St. Peter: "Everyone should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God" (1 Peter 4:10).

What is a Saint?
(taken from Daily Vitamins for Spiritual Growth)

A saint is a sinner who keeps trying. The reason the Church will not call you a saint until after you’re dead is because sometimes we stop trying. We lapse into sin and stay there. Too many fall out of the race at the last lap. Eternal watchfulness is not only the price of freedom; it is also the price of sainthood.
A saint is holy which means different. He is different from what one sees in the world—different because he looks to Christ and confirms his life not to the world but to the will of God.
