      “Becoming the New Human Person: Christ’s Gift of Freedom”
       
      The ministry of Jesus is a ministry of freedom. So often we see Him ‘setting people free.” Those who follow Him know that we cannot become the person He desires us to be without being free to cooperate with His grace. We long to be free of anything that impedes that response. Often we recognize a lack of freedom in our fears, our negative thinking, and our embedded patterns of behavior. We long to be free in order to grow, mature, and become the graced and happy person God desires us to be.
       
      This series will explore the foundations of our call to freedom and challenge us to cooperate with God’s grace.

      The Power of Many....  Stronger as ONE

      The Catholic Ministries Appeal asks each of us to recognize that we are all part of a larger diocesan Church that transcends personal and parish boundaries. We have an extraordinary responsibility to provide for the poor, address parish needs, enhance our children’s religious education, encourage vocations, and support the many other good ministries of our Diocese.

      Stewardship:
      “There are different kinds of gifts  but the same spirit:
      there are       different forms of service but the same Lord.”
      1 Corinthians 12:4 

      Join us as we begin our journey on understanding
      The Joy of Stewardship … 

       How are you going to put your faith into action?  What are you going to do to get closer to GOD?
