Stewardship Awareness Sunday      “Putting God first in our lives by practicing stewardship deepens our faith. By cultivating a spirit of gratitude, by practicing generosity, good stewards experience a freedom from want and care that is truly liberating.  Let us focus on making stewardship a way of life.  As we prayerfully reflect on the gifts each of us has been given, I ask that you consider how good and responsible a steward of those gifts you have been.”. ~ Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB.  For more info, visit www.rcav.org/stewardship.
