​ARCHBISHOPS APPEAL FOR MINISTRIES
​

The 2022 Appeal for Ministries coincides with Pope Francis’s call for a worldwide “synodal process” in which all people of God walk together, reflecting on their shared journey, from which the Church can open itself more fully to live communion, achieve participation, and further the saving mission of Jesus Christ.  Text-to-give (210) 750-6712, keyword: APPEAL.
 


2 Corinthians 9:6-7 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

"Jesus' disciples and Christian stewards recognize God as the origin of life, giver of freedom, and source of all things. We are grateful for the gifts we have received and are eager to use them to show our love for God and for one another. We look to the life and teaching of Jesus for guidance in living as Christian stewards...Stewards of God's gifts are not passive beneficiaries. We cooperate with God in our own redemption and in the redemption of others." (To Be a Christian Steward, A Summary of the U.S. Bishops' Pastoral Letter on Stewardship, 1992)
​STEWARDSHIP WHAT’S FAITH GOT TO DO WITH IT?
 
The only way you can achieve true financial freedom and peace is to recognize that God has a plan for your life—including your finances. He is our Father and wants what’s best for us. Our faith provides the answers we’re looking for, to help us develop a healthy, wholesome and holy attitude when it comes to how we manage our money. In fact, how you handle your money can be one of the best indicators of the strength and vitality of your spiritual life. It’s important for our financial objectives to support our goals for life. As Christians we must always keep in mind the reason for our existence. Remember Jesus’ words: “For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” (Mk 8:36).
As Catholics, growing in our relationship with Christ and being faithful to him and his teachings is our number one goal in life, and it should be our first financial goal as well! All the other financial goals and priorities we set will flow from our decision to be faithful to Christ.
Another important aspect of transforming our attitude toward money comes with learning to trust God as our Father and provider. In the Sermon on the Mount, Our Lord says to not worry about questions like, ‘“What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well” (Mt 6:31-33). Please visit our Parish website for more information on online tithing.
