GOOD STEWARDSHIP AND THE CATHOLIC-CHRISTIAN CALL TO TITHE OUR TIME, TALENT, AND TREASURE...........

God has entrusted to Humankind the Stewardship of the Earth and the Environment of the Universe, while we are in the World and making use of them.  Catholic-Christian Stewardship is defined as sharing ten percent of our first fruits with God and the Church, of the Time, Talent, and Treasure, we possesss.  That was the focus of my Stewardship message in tandem with the annual Financial report presented to the parish at all the Sunday Masses last night and this morning.  We are in need of more parish income to meet our expenses, and Good Stewardship of all our members for the Common Good of OLOL Parish Community of Believers is necessary.  Every person, family, and parish ministry, must share inn this work, as we strive to provide the necessary funding for all our ministries, programs, and parochial responsibilities.  As we learn to appreciate and practice our mutual need to tithe in sharing the percentages of Time, Talent, and Treasure, totalling ten percent that is possible for you, we can, and we will, succeed in ever better meeting and serving the essential needs of our Community of Believers...........Fr.  Troy
