2 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord 2 March 25, 2018 WHAT IS CATHOLIC STEWARDSHIP? According to the Archdiocese of Vancouver, Catholic Stewardship is (cont d from last week s bulletin): Catholic Stewardship is a love response Once we allow God to truly take up residence in our hearts we become so overwhelmed by His abundant love for us that we just naturally feel the need to join our lives with Him and dedicate our time, talent and treasure to carrying out God s work here on earth Our generosity comes from within and not from any external pressure or reward Stewardship calls us to realize that each of us is called to give as God has given to us We no longer base our giving on what others are giving We no longer excuse ourselves from giving because we do not see others giving Rather we give in proportion to all that God has given to us Stewardship involves spending time with God Recognizing that every day is a gift from God, we strive to spend some of each day with God, through prayer, Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, scripture reading, quiet, meditation and other spiritual activities Stewardship involves sharing talent Recognizing that God has given each individual unique skills and talents so that together we can do the work of Our Lord, we strive to share our own talents and to encourage and welcome others to also use their talents to carry out the mission and ministry of the Church Stewardship involves giving treasure Giving time and talent does not excuse us from giving treasure We know that throughout the Gospels, Jesus challenged us to give as it has been given to us Recognizing the tremendous financial blessings that abound in our country, we strive to give at least 10% of our resources back to God, to support the building up of God s kingdom Although this level of giving may not be immediately possible, we are aware of what percentage we are giving back and regularly strive to increase the amount, taking small incremental steps toward giving a full tithe HOLY WEEK SIGN-UP SHEETS If you will be attending any of the services during Holy Week which need Liturgical Ministers at, please sign up in the back of church There are sign-up sheets for Washing of the Feet, Eucharistic Procession to McAleer Hall, and other Liturgical Ministry positions that need to be filled Please stop by the table in back and see where you can help EASTER EGG HUNT The Holy Family Parish BFF (Building Faithful Families) group will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 31st, at McAleer Hall at 3:00 pm All children 11 years of age and younger are invited to participate in the hunt EASTER DECORATIONS/FLOWERS If you would like to make a donation for Easter decorations or flowers to decorate the churches for Easter, please drop your donation in the collection basket, marked Easter Decorations/Flowers FATIMA STATUE The Kensington will be hosting the Our Lady of Fatima statue this week, March 25 - March 30th The rosary will be recited at 4:00 pm Sunday Friday Everyone is invited to come and pray the rosary as a faith community MASS LOCATION CHANGE Beginning Saturday, April 7th, the 4:00 pm Mass will move to Ss Mary and Joseph Church for six months COLLECTIONS Everyone is asked to return their rice bowls to the Holy Thursday Mass Please put your name on the box Also, there will be a Diocesan Collection on Good Friday for the Holy Land OFFICE CLOSED The parish office will be closed on Good Friday and on Monday, April 2nd Regular hours will resume on Tuesday, April 3rd
