I am no longer chair of the stewardship committee I am a plain member (who will continue to write the Stewardship Spotlight). I would like to introduce Corinne Turcotte, a longstanding member of the committee and St. Augustine parishioner, as the new stewardship committee chair. Corinne is a UF alumna with bachelor s and master s degrees and a certified public accountant, now working as an audit manager. That means that she is very good with financial responsibility! I look forward to working with her in service to the parish. Stewardship is not all about raising money, although that is a component of it. Stewardship is about recognizing God s many gifts to us and then returning them to Him through His people and His Church. At St. A s, the stewardship committee has focused on building community and fellowship among parishioners both students and non-students. A prime example of this is the upcoming Oktoberfest to be held at the rectory on Friday, October 13 starting at 6:00 pm. There will be beer, bratwurst, other drinks and food, and fun things to do. This is not a fundraising event it is free. It is a celebration of us the people of the parish. Please come and bring a dessert to share. There will be children s activities, too. The first reading and gospel from today s mass focus on people who abused the gift of a vineyard. It is tempting to read into these passages a strictly historical interpretation of Jesus telling the Jews of His time that they are missing the boat by not recognizing Him and not turning to the Father. However, in this day, we are the chosen people who have been entrusted with a vineyard. Are we being good stewards of God s gifts and yielding much fruit, or are we abusing and neglecting God s gifts to us? Paul Gulig Member, Stewardship Committee and Chair, Parish Council 4
