Spotlight on Stewardship

September 18, 2016 Stewardship Reflection “No servant can serve two masters. He will hate one

and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise

the other. You cannot serve God and mammon

(wealth).” LUKE 16:13

Is money a “god” that you put before God? Giving

money to support the Church and other charities is a

pillar of our Faith, just like attending Mass every

Sunday and participating in parish ministry. Giving

money frees us from being a slave to money and

increases our dependence on God and to trust that

He will provide all that we need.

Ministry Spotlight

Tender Loving Comforters

The Tender Loving Comforters (TLC) are here for you!

The TLC and Good Neighbor ministries have merged

and are expanding in order to minister to and care for

more St. Anne parishioners, particularly those

experiencing the joy and chaos of new life and the

grief of a loss. This fantastic group will prepare and

deliver meals to bereaved St. Anne families around

the time of a wake or funeral, to St. Anne families

welcoming a new baby, and to St. Anne parishioners

recovering from illness or major surgery.

If you are in need of assistance from the TLC ministry,

please let us know by calling the Parish Office at

706-561-8678.
