In today’s second reading, we hear the author of the letter to the Hebrews liken the daily life of the Christian steward to a race, a long-distance race perhaps, certainly not a sprint; requiring endurance and a single-minded focus on Jesus at the finish line. Good stewards are firmly committed to running the race, to live the Christian life to the fullest, to keep their eyes focused on Jesus. They don’t grow weary. They don’t lose heart. They know there is immense joy waiting for them at the finish line. Are you fully committed to living each day for Christ? Are you running the race, or are you simply jogging? Just walking? Sitting? Going backwards? Going nowhere? Some of us may want to reflect on what we can do to run the race with even more conviction. Others may want to reflect on how to simply enter the race and start running.

For this coming week:
Enclosed with this bulletin is our parish budget for FY2016-2017. Thank you to Marshall Long and Kathy Rachall for their hard work in providing us with this financial framework for the coming fiscal year. As you know both for our parish and personal lives, the cost of products and services continue to rise. Therefore, our new projected weekly goal is $4,529.00. I know that working together we can continue to meet our financial responsibilities, provide for holy worship, and educate our children in the faith. Thank you for your ongoing generosity and support.
