Stewardship: Using God’s Gifts to do God’s Work
Stewardship is living out a commitment to be Christ-centered rather than self-centered. It tells us to share a portion of our time, talent and treasure so that God’s Gift, Jesus Christ, may be given to others who need him. Profound gratitude, justice and love become the fundamental motives for giving back to God.
The St. Therese Stewardship Corner shares weekly stories and reflections on how our parishioners are sharing their gifts. -

December 19Full of grace! What kind of girl was Mary? Biblical scholars say she was quite young, maybe 14 or 15. She was promised in marriage to an older man, Joseph. According to St. Luke, her family was related to the priesthood in Jerusalem. So she is a devout Jew, keeping Torah the way it was meant to be kept.
