Diocesan Stewardship Luncheon - Online Video |
"Again I tell you, if two of you join your voices on earth to pray for anything whatsoever, it shall be granted you by my Father in heaven. Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst." Matthew 18:20
The following event was hosted January 23rd at the Pastoral Center. This collaborative effort was attended by over 100 parish leaders representing over half the parishes in our diocese. Bishop Flores delivered the opening prayer and discussed Stewardship as a Way of Life. He was followed by Fr. John Dolan who presented on Stewardship as Communion in Love, and Cindy Bosh, Stewardship Director for All Hallows Parish, who discussed how stewardship works on a parish level.
