Y AND CHERYL HELLERMAN:
vice to God and Parish Living a life of stewardship has been an important part of the Hellermans’ faith life. They believe that to actively live out the faith, you must show Christ’s love to those around you. They believe that by being involved in the parish, Christ is put back at the center of your life. Life can get busy, but by serving the greater community you are provided a way to turn the focus back to God. “Our lives are crazy and sometimes it feels like participating in the parish would just be something extra to do,” Cheryl says. “But believe us when we say that becoming involved in a parish helps you put God back in the center of your life and your family. He always helps you find a way to fit in. No matter what you think your gifts are — or are not — God is calling you in some way to get involved. Once you do, you will be changed, and you will realize that it’s not just something extra. It is the very thing that brings everything else together.”
The Hellermans helped organize a walk to raise money for an organization in Guatemala called Common Hope. Pictured are family, friends and fellow parishioners.
