STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
Jesus traveled from town to town, preaching and revealing the Truth. It is not necessary for us to go from town to town, but we are called to live out our lives as good Christians in our daily lives right here in our own parish and our own community. That is stewardship.
WE ALL NEED TO OFFER OUR FAIR SHARE IN SUPPORT OF OUR FAMILY OF FAITH.

MARRIAGE & FAMILY MINISTRY
772-465-1399 or 772-633-1003
A cynic once said “no one loves anyone unless they first decide that they need them.” To the extent that this is true, what do we need a special someone for? For that matter, what do we need God for? It is possible that why we need God and why we need a special someone are the same.
GRIEF SUPPORT
Why join Grief Support?
