Over the last several weeks, we have shared with you about the stewardship way of life in preparation for our Requesting Stewards for Vibrant Parish (RSVP) initiative for 2019. We have ofLicially embarked on RSVP and now is the time for you to begin considering all your stewardship pledges together so that you may best live the stewardship way of life in 2019. As you do this, you are challenged to prayerfully consider what we have shared with you in relation to your baptismal call to live the stewardship way of life as a mis- sionary disciple and your capability to fulLill stewardship commitments. SpeciLic to your pledges to pray and participate, the 2019 Stewardship Directory, which you should have received at your home earlier this month, would be a good reference as you discern your pledges. Parishioners at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church seek closeness with God through a prayerful commitment to stewardship. We believe all that we have is gifted from God. As missionary disciples of Christ, we commit to pray, to participate, and to give. We carry out our promises with such faithfulness and love that our church and school are fully alive!
