PRAYER: Strengthening Our Stewardship Homes
Each household that belongs to The Cathedral of Christ the King is a small part of our larger, extended parish family. And as our parish family is strengthened in prayer and how we spend our time, so too are our domestic churches. Prayer is an essential component in the life of a Christian steward, and it begins within our homes. Stewardship has become a way of life for The Cathedral of Christ the King. And this year we are placing special importance on how we spend our time within our “domestic churches.” As we enter into this time of renewal, let us strive to grow in our prayer lives individually and within our families. 2
— Pope Francis
“All families need God. Every single one. We need His help, His strength, His blessing. His mercy and His forgiveness. It takes simplicity. To pray as a family simplicity is needed.”

If you are new to prayer, consider these ideas to help you begin:
• Commit to saying a decade of the Rosary as a family in the evenings.
Remember that your home can be a dwelling place for God — make sure that what you allow in your home (TV, Internet use, music) honors Him.
Our homes can become a dwelling place for God. In order to encounter God’s presence, we must first invite Him into our lives. Committing to daily time with Him in prayer will transform our lives and those who enter our homes. How will you commit to using your time in the year ahead so that your home becomes a dwelling place for God?
• Find a quiet place in your home. Spend five or 10 minutes alone with the Lord. Read the daily Gospel reading, thank Him for the blessings you have in your life and spend time listening to Him.
STEWARDSHIP OF TIME
Cultivating Time for Prayer
• If you are married, pray together each day as a couple. It will strengthen your relationship with God and will deepen your love for each other. Start by saying a Morning Offering each day.
•
•
Reflect on these possibilities:
• Commit to serving in a liturgical ministry this year — the Mass is our greatest form of prayer!
The beauty of prayer is that we can do it anywhere and anytime. When we carry God in our hearts all day long then our everyday moments become a prayer. All that we do becomes an offering to the Lord — cooking dinner, folding laundry, driving in the car. Let us ask God to reveal how He is calling us to serve Him within our homes, families, and the wider community this year. May we strive to make those commitments prayerful acts of service by praying throughout our day.
• Practice hospitality by inviting others into your home or cook a meal for someone in need. Pray for whomever you are cooking the meal for (invite the kids to pray too!).
TALENT
Prayer in Daily Life
If you are homebound, consider ways you can serve right from home — helping with phone calls or emails for a ministry or calling to check in on parishioners. Offering your time to personally connect with someone can transform their day.
• Commit to joining a parish ministry or attend a parish event as a
TREASURE Prayerful Giving
• Commit to giving a percentage of your income to God through the parish offertory. Make it a prayerful act by praying for good effects of each gift.
5
• Give at the next parish food drive. Invite the kids to pick out items to help those in need.
We should approach everything in life — even our finances and material possessions — with Christ in mind. When we view these material goods as gifts from the Lord we surrender them to His care. He will guide us in the proper use of them better than we could have imagined. Then our homes, everything we own, and our finances become instruments of Considerprayer. challenging yourself in the following ways this year:
• Take a look at your current budget and spending habits, and assess what expenses are preventing you from giving more selflessly.
• Choose a charity that you and your family are passionate about and set a goal of giving a certain amount.
HERITAGE GIRLS (AHG)
As disciples and good stewards, we desire to be fed; desire to fill the hunger and longings of the human heart that only Jesus can satisfy. The following ministries are particular opportunities to be fed; opportunities for parishioners to draw closer to Jesus and allow Him to lead us into a deeper realization of who we are, and the path God has in mind for our lives as disciples and good stewards. All parishioners are encouraged to participate in at least one of the following faith formation opportunities as ways to help discern in which ministries we are called to serve and participate.

ARETREATparish-based weekend retreat intended to provide a personal encounter with Jesus Christ through the power and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The weekend invites participants to “retreat” so that they may delve deeper into where Jesus wants to lead them as disciples within His Church. The retreat is open to both men and women parishioners (18 or older). Free childcare (ages 0-7) offered on the first (Friday) and last (Monday) evenings of the retreat. The goal of Light of the World (LOTW) is to invite (or renew) each retreatant into a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, and then provide them the tools and community to maintain and build on that relationship as a lifelong disciple. The retreats are held at the parish in the Fall each year. Participants get to go home at night and sleep in their own beds.
Commitment: Team members meet bimonthly to pray together, plan activities, and then assist in their implementation and cleanup or follow-up as needed.

ForSHARINGmanyof us, our domestic church will be where we leave our greatest impact and legacy. In a current culture that places very little value on children and the family, we, as Catholic women, are poised to bring back the Christ-centered village that so many desire. MOMS is a community of faith-driven women, offering fellowship and support to moms of all ages, stages, and situations. Working mothers, stayat-home mothers, single mothers, mothers of adult children, teens, toddlers, and infants come together to deepen and explore our faith, share tips and tricks for motherhood and family life, and offer opportunities for evangelization within our homes and the greater parish community. There are both morning and evening groups: morning group meets twice a month on alternating Wednesdays; evening group meets once a month on a Wednesday. Childcare is provided during meeting times through the CTK Nursery. Our group Patron, St. Gianna, tells us, “One earns Paradise with one’s daily task” — join us as we journey through our “daily task” of motherhood together, with Christ as our goal and our guide.
