Our Parish Stewardship Renewal and You WHY STEWARDSHIP ?

At St. Julies our goal is to be a Total Stewardship Parisha community of disciples noticeably committed to prayer, parish ministry and generous financial support. We are here to help you grow in your understanding of what it means to be a full disciple of Jesus Christ and to provide opportunities to put your gifts into service. We feel confident your discipleship can grow and thrive at St. Julies.

WHY SHOULD I COMMIT EVERY YEAR ? First, it is important to formally recommit ourselves to the parish, similar to how spouses celebrate anniversaries or how we renew our baptismal vows at Easter time. Secondly, we need to annually reevaluate our intentions because a lot can change in a year. You may have more free time to devote to ministries, or you may have received a raise enabling you to support the parish more generously.

IN THE PAST, IVE SIGNED UP FOR MINISTRIES BUT DIDNT GET CALLED OR INVOLVED. Our parishioners are truly active in all the ministries we have, and during the renewal period many people signed up but somehow may not have been contacted. We have revised our process this year with the goal of contacting those interested to participate in new ministries within a month. But keep in mind that if the Holy Spirit inspired you to sign up, you may have to match that inspiration with effort on your part. Contact the ministry leader and find out how you can help. Our parish wants your personal involvement and support.

PARISH & STEWARDSHIP REPORT 2014

A candle looses nothing by lighting another candle. - James Keller

Stewardship Prayer

Loving Lord, giver of life and everything good,

we thank and praise you. You sent Jesus into our world

who gave himself fully, even unto death for the sake of

others.

In gratitude, enable us to be generous givers for all we have

received.

Help us always to use Your gifts wisely -

Our time in Prayer and Care of others,

Our Talents in Ministry and Our Treasures in building

communities at St Julies and beyond.

May every offering of our time, talents and material resources

bear witness to the love of Christ in our lives.

We make this prayer with grateful hearts in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Dear Friends,

Greetings!

This is a time of great opportunity for our parish as we move beyond the 40th year. We have so many reasons to be grateful to the Lord for watching over us and blessing our growth. I am especially thankful to all of you whose stewardship of time, talent and treasure makes such a big difference in our parish and beyond. It is a blessing for me to walk with holy men and women of this parish whose spirituality is lived out in various commitments as the body of Christ. Stewardship calls us to be an inclusive community that welcomes all or a family of families. It also invites us to act as the body of Christ in various ministries. We are all participants in the ministry of Christ, so we chose not to be observers. This report offers a statement of accountability for the good stewardship you have shown over the past year. We proudly list our accomplishments, and humbly acknowledge the areas in which we need to grow. In all, we ask the help of our good and gracious God as we embrace the challenge of moving forward in faith toward our 50th year. May God pour forth His richest blessings upon you and your family and by His grace, may we all become better stewards of our time, talent and treasure.

Your brother in Christ,

Saj Fr. Saju Joseph, Pastor

Nuestra renovacin de Corresponsabilidad Parroquial y T

POR QU CORRESPONSABILIDAD? En Sta. Julia nuestro objetivo es ser una parroquia corresponsable Total una comunidad de discpulos comprometidos perceptiblemente a la oracin, Ministerio parroquial y generoso apoyo financiero. Estamos aqu para ayudarle a crecer en su entendimiento de lo que significa ser un discpulo de Jesucristo completo y proporcionar oportunidades para poner tus dones al servicio. Nos sentimos confiados en su discipulado puede crecer

y prosperar en Sta. Julia.

POR QU YO ME COMPROMETO CADA AO? En primer lugar, es importante comprometernos formalmente a la parroquia, similar a cmo los cnyuges celebran aniversarios o cmo renovamos nuestros votos bautismales en tiempo de Pascua. En segundo lugar, necesitamos reevaluar anualmente nuestras intenciones porque muchas cosas pueden cambiar en un ao. Que tenga ms tiempo libre para dedicar a los ministerios, o puede haber recibido un aumento permitindole apoyar la parroquia ms generosamente.

EN EL PASADO, HE FIRMADO PARA LOS MINISTERIOS PERO NO ME HAN LLAMADO O IMPLICADO. Nuestros feligreses son verdaderamente activos en todos los ministerios que tenemos y durante el perodo de renovacin firmaron muchas personas, pero de alguna manera pueden no haber sido contactados. Hemos revisado nuestro proceso este ao con el objetivo de ponernos en contacto con los interesados a participar en nuevos ministerios dentro de un mes. Pero tenga en cuenta que si el Espritu Santo le inspir para inscribirse, y para que coincida con esa inspiracin tal vez requiere un esfuerzo de su parte. Pngase en contacto con el lder del Ministerio y descubra cmo usted puede ayudar. Nuestra parroquia quiere su compromiso personal.
