“So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

This past Advent, we focused on the simple theme of “The light of faith.” When discussing our theme for the 2020 Stewardship Renewal, we decided to expand on what we learned during Advent as a call to action. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world. But, he asks us not to simply sit with the light – but, to share it with the world. Whether that is with people we know in the parish, or the in the wider community in need, we share the light through our words and actions.

At this time of stewardship renewal, please consider the needs of our Saint Agnes Community as well as how your time, talent and treasure can help meet those needs. Are you willing to stretch beyond what you have always done and try something new? Regardless of whether you are able to participate in large or small ways, are you willing to answer Jesus’ call? Will you share the light of faith?

Stewardship renewal is our opportunity to say “thank you” to God by committing to share a just and fair portion of our time, talents, and financial blessings to continue to do His work. By completing, returning, and then fulfilling your stewardship intention form, you are demonstrating your desire to continue as a vital part of the body of believers who gather as Saint Agnes Catholic Community. Thank you for answering Jesus’ call to “love one another.”
