Know Your Parish!!!

I was so happy at our 4th Annual Parish Festival on October 1, 2017. What a great success and what a great participation. There was a lot of great positive energy to make positive difference in our community. Therefore, I wish to bring the knowledge about different groups who have partaken in the life of the church. To all the members of the different parish groups who are engaging in the ministry of Jesus here at St. Edward, thank you! You have been wonderful and your part in our day-to-day activities is essential in the life of the Church! This reminds me of what St. Paul says that the Church is a living, growing spiritual body of Christ (1 Cor 12:1). And like our bodies, our St. Edward Church compromises many parts – the parish groups who constantly offer their time, talent, and energy (stewardship) to make us thrive. To the people who sit in the pews every Sunday, maybe we should consider in sharing this responsibility. Maybe we should consider joining in our parish groups. Take little bit of time and mediate upon your personal relationship with God, and how you may use your gifts in the community. Remember!!! You are not alone; we are a BIG family of St Edward’s. I welcome you to be part of your big family, and bring your Stewardship to your family. In the near future, I will give you gist of different groups, you may want to consider to join them. And again, I thank you sincerely for being part of St. Edward Family. Thank you for considering this effort to make us a bigger family. Sincerely, Fr. Jay
