Letter from the Pastor Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, A number of years ago the Second Vatican Council reminded us: “The Lord Jesus ‘whom the Father consecrated and sent into world’ (John 10:36) makes his whole Mystical Body a sharer in the anointing of the Spirit wherewith he has been anointed. Therefore there is no such thing as a member that has not a share in the mission of the whole Body” (#2 Presbyterorum Ordinis). Here at St. Martha Parish we have committed ourselves to implementing this teaching of the Church. We do this through stewardship and invite everyone to become actively involved by sharing their God- given blessings for the good of all. This Stewardship Guide Book is provided to help you make careful and prayerful decisions about offering your time, talent and treasure in your parish throughout the year. It contains a brief description of each area of ministry along with the name of the contact person from that ministry. This year you will also find our Mass schedule, campus map, and answers to frequently asked questions. Every Catholic has an important role to play in the Body of Christ. How is God calling you to become more engaged in our Stewardship Parish? In Christ, Msgr. Chester Borski 2 St. Martha Catholic Church Stewardship Guide Book Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, Hace unos años, las palabras del Concilio Vaticano II nos recordaban que: “Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, a quien el Padre santifico y envió al mundo (Juan 10:36) hace que todo el cuerpo místico participe de la unción del Espíritu con la que El mismo ha sido ungido. Por lo tanto no existe ningún miembro que este fuera de la misión de todo el cuerpo.”(#2 Presbyterorum Ordinis) En nuestra parroquia, nos hemos comprometido a implementar esta doctrina de la iglesia y lo hacemos por medio del discipulado. Los invitamos a todos a participar activamente, compartiendo las bendiciones que Dios les ha dado para el bien de todos. La intención de esta guía, es ayudarte a que, por medio de oración y reflexión, puedas decidir de qué manera quieres compartir tu tiempo, talento y tesoro durante el siguiente año en tu parroquia. En ella encontraras una breve descripción de diferentes ministerios, aunado al nombre de la persona que puedes contactar. También encontraras nuestro horario de Misas, mapas para ambos campus y respuestas a preguntas frecuentes. Todo católico está llamado a desempeñar un papel importante dentro del Cuerpo de Cristo, ¿Cómo te está llamando Dios a ti, hoy, para estar mas comprometido con tu parroquia? En Cristo, Msgr.

Very simply, a parish full of good stewards - people who actively use their time, talent and treasure to build the Kingdom of God. Deepest Reasons For Stewardship Gratitude - A good steward is grateful. When we are filled with a deep sense of gratitude we are most willing to share our gifts to build the Church. The good steward recognizes that everything is a “gift” and has a desire to pass along these gifts to others. Priority - A good steward makes God the first priority in everything - family, finances, friendships, and use of time - everything. Stewardship is about making first things first. Love - Christ loved us and poured out his life for us and calls us to that same kind of love. A good steward shares out of love - love for God, for the Church, and for our parish. Hallmarks Of A Good Steward Good Stewards of Time... • Make Mass your top priority on Sunday • Schedule time for daily prayer • Pray together with family and loved ones Good Stewards of Talent... • Re-commit yourself to your current parish ministries • Pray about which new ministry to join • Train your children to serve in the Church Good Stewards of Treasure... • Strive to give 4 percent to weekly offertory, 4 percent to the parish Debt Reduction Campaign, and 2 percent to the archdiocese and other charities • Commit to a specific gift each week or month • Use offertory envelopes or Faith Direct All of these elements are equally important. Without financial resources, we would have no church to worship in... Without prayer, our church would be spiritually empty... Without personal involvement in ministry, we could not bring the Good News to others. 6 St. Martha Catholic Church Stewardship Guide Book AHS Marian Brown ABR Parishioner CRS Accredited Home Staging Specialist Accredited Buyer’s Representative Certified Residential Specialist Awarded; Top New Listing Agent TopTop PrProducingo Agent TopTop SSellinge Agent Associates Northeast TopTop 10 Agent 2940 Oak Street RookieRo of the Kingwood, TX 77339 YearY 2007 Offi ce: 281.358.8888 Direct: 281.361.2224 Realtor®R Cell: 281.630.4820 Fax: 281.358.6142 [email protected] www.har.com/marianbrown Each Offi ce Independently Owned and Operated State Farm, Bloomington, ILIL 7 St. Martha Catholic Church Stewardship Guide Book A Stewardship Prayer Jesus, I give my whole life to you.

  • Chess As a Key to Solving Nabokov's Korol', Dama, Valet
    CHESS AS A KEY TO SOLVING NABOKOV’S KOROL’, DAMA, VALET James Murray Slater A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Radislav Lapushin Madeline Levine Christopher Putney ABSTRACT James Murray Slater: Chess as a Key to Solving Nabokov’s Korol’, dama, valet (Under the direction of Professor Radislav Lapushin) This thesis examines the role of chess in Nabokov’s novel, Korol’, dama, valet , and how the struggle between the narrator and the protagonist, Martha-Marta , can be justified by using chess as a key. The first portion of my analysis is based on the role of the diegetic narrator in an attempt to subvert Martha’s movements toward autonomy. In explaining the narrator’s subversion of Martha, I explore the nature of the protagonists, the movement of the narrative, and the structure and parameters of the novel in relation to it being a figurative game of chess. Furthermore, Martha’s attempts at dominance are examined in connection to the concept of past-reconstruction. I conclude my analysis by ushering in unifying intersections of plot and characterization in Nabokov’s later work. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I. INTRODUCTION……………….……………………………….………1 II.

    WILLIAM SHARMAN CRAWFORD (BILLY) NICHOLL, THE PROSPECTOR WHO DISCOVERED THE MARTHA LODE AT WAIHI: HIS LIFE, TOLD LARGELY IN HIS OWN WORDS Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 57 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 WILLIAM SHARMAN CRAWFORD (BILLY) NICHOLL, THE PROSPECTOR WHO DISCOVERED THE MARTHA LODE AT WAIHI: HIS LIFE, TOLD LARGELY IN HIS OWN WORDS Abstract: Billy Nicholl was that rare miner, one who recorded his life. Born in Ireland, when still a boy he arrived in New Zealand in 1862. After his father died at an early age, he acquired a step-father, whom he disliked, with good reason; and in her later years his mother’s mind would fade. From 1868, when he was probably aged 14, until shortly before his death, he was a prospector and miner. Excited by the early Thames mining days, he learnt the skills needed to be a successful prospector, and during the 1870s worked with several mates on the Coromandel field, with some success. After briefly participating in the Te Aroha rush of 1880, he saw from the summit of that mountain the outcrops of the Waihi reefs, and turned his attention to that largely unexplored area. Although there was considerable claim and counter-claim about who first explored the area and who first found gold, Nicholl was the first to discover a payable lode, the famous Martha. After telling his mates of his discovery, they marked out the line of reef and started to develop several claims.
