How are the Loopers Living a Stewardship Way of Life?
Disciples as Stewards
They are followers of Christ. They actively participate in Mass. As Christian stewards they respond in a particular way to the call to be a disciple. They recognize the gifts they have received and are eager to use them to show their love for God and for one another.
Stewards of Creation
The Loopers appreciate the beauty and wonder of nature that God created and work to protect and preserve of the environment through their personal and professional life.
Stewards of Vocation
Jesus calls each of us by name. Each one of us—lay person; married, adult, child, brother, sister—has a personal vocation. God intends each one of us to play a unique role in carrying out His plan.
Stewards of the Church
All members of the Church have their own roles to play in carrying out the mission of the Church. The Loopers are parents, who are the primary catechists for their children. They are parishioners, who work in concrete ways to make their parish a true community of faith by putting their talents to work as catechists, altar servers and commission members.
Will You Answer the Call?
The Loopers are living a stewardship way of life. Julia and Audrey were witness speakers at Mass the weekend of October 1 – 2, 2016— kicking off Stewardship of Talent (Re)Commitment. The mother and daughter duo dialouge about how we are all the Church and called all to respond to the call of Christ and live the stewardship way of life.
