This year’s stewardship theme, Walk
in Love, calls us to
remember that our greatest gift in community is how we align and come together
in purpose and mission. When we walk in the same direction, we can do so many
things. Together, we will explore how sharing our time, talent, and treasure in
support of Christ’s ministry at Holy Family is both a figurative and literal walk
in love.
During this season we talk a lot about money, and Holy Family’s
budget. Yes, those things are important, they are the way we fund the Church. But
our real focus is on what our gifts can do for the world around us. Jesus calls
us to heal, visit, feed, accompany, protect, advocate, love our neighbor, and
share our time, talent, and treasure. These are the ways that we make this
happen.
Each of us hears this call differently, just as each of us has been
blessed by God differently. Our talents and training are gifts freely given to
us so that we may share them with a world in need. How will you feel God’s call
to walk in love this year? How will you share your gifts with God’s people in
the world?
With this letter you are invited to make your promise to the
community of Holy Family for 2026. Before you fill out the commitment card,
whether online or on paper, please pray about it and discern how God is calling
you to share your gifts.
We ask you to reflect upon your personal commitment of time, talent, and
treasure to Holy Family. Any amount
you decide to commit is generous, well-appreciated, and a sign of support for
our beloved parish. Please complete the enclosed Commitment to Community Card
and either return it in person, by email, or by mail to the Parish
Administrator on or before the Sunday,
November 23rd Stewardship Ingathering.
Walking with you in Love,
Mr. Ben Paden, Treasurer and Fr. Frank Impicciche, Priest-in-Charge
