Stewardship Thoughts

The theme of family connects today’s Scripture readings. Whoever honors his father atones for sins, and those who revere their mother store up riches, the passage from the Book of Sirach teaches us. Those who care for aging parents are not forgotten, and their kindness is planted as an offering against sin. In St. Luke’s Gospel, Jesus is presented to the Lord in the Jerusalem Temple, in accordance with Mosaic Law. The Holy Family then returns to Nazareth, where Jesus grows in strength and wisdom. In his Letter to the Colossians, St. Paul stresses bearing with one another and forgiving one another… as the Lord has forgiven you. … Christ’s peace must reign in our families’ hearts. As St. John Paul II emphasized, the family is the “Domestic Church.” Vocations are born in families that embrace the Catholic faith. May we, as faithful stewards, continue to strive, build, and pray for solid Christian families in an increasingly antifamily world. To strengthen your family, make a daily habit of praying and eating at least one meal together. Most important, attend Sunday Mass as a family and partake of Holy Communion.

CSA - Marriage and Family Ministry

This Sunday marks the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph — and is a celebration of the family. Gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal help support families at all stages.

Catholic marriage is a vocation, a calling from God. Programs and services of the archdiocesan Marriage and Family Ministry Office include marriage preparation, Natural Family Planning, and Women’s Ministry. Resources are also available for family and marriage support, those experiencing separation and divorce, and the culture of life.
