Stewardship is a source of deepening spirituality because it challenges us to let go of any false notions that we are somehow in control of our lives, our skills and our talents, or our material possessions. We are not the authors of our own existence. We are not the owners of our spiritual and material gifts. We are stewards (caretakers or custodians) of what belongs exclusively and entirely to God.
God has given us the gift of life and the gift of intelligence. We are responsible for taking care of ourselves and developing our minds and growing in wisdom and understanding. We have been given the skills and abilities that allow us to earn a living, care for those we love, and contribute to the common good by our work and by our service to others in the Church and in our community. These gifts of time and talent make it possible for us to acquire the material possessions that we need and enjoy. All God’s gifts are good. They are meant to be used responsibly and shared generously with others.

THURSDAYS, SEPT 5 - MAY 19 9:45 to 11:45 a.m. • MMC In his two great letters to Corinthians, St. Paul addressed the ongoing problems experienced in the Church at Corinth. These challenges included dissension, immorality, lawsuits, liturgical abuses and the tendency of the Christians at Corinth to fall prey to “false teachers”.
The Apostle to the Gentiles tackled each of these critical issues with his dynamic Coffee beginning at 9:30 a.m. and tireless spiritual zeal, strengthening the Corinthians’ faith and commitment so they could build up the Body of Christ.
Two thousand years later, as we struggle with much the same problems, St. Paul’s words of wisdom are timely, pertinent, ANNUAL WOMEN'S RETREAT and valuable.
In this study of Corinthians, we step back in time to discover two profound letters in which the first-century apostle and bishop Study book cost: $42. If you're interested or opened his heart and soul to his beloved children in the Faith in the Greek city of Corinth. Because these letters are so intensely personal and heartfelt, they are among the most loved and widely read of St. Paul’s letters, and a key reason why we know him as well as we do.
