ABCD 2026! Together: Do Good, Seek Peace
"You are the light of the world," Jesus tells us. When you support the ABCD, you helping bring light to the lives of thousands in need in our community. Together, we serve as that light offering dignity, compassion, and hope to our brothers and sisters in need. Let us continue shining brightly in unity and faith through our support of the ABCD. Please prayerfully consider making your gift to the ABCD today.
Stewardship is our response freely giving what God has entrusted to us to serve others, build community, and spread peace.
"Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
MATTHEW 5:16The generosity of being a good Steward of your gifts has a positive effect on people, and it is contagious! Good works encourages more good works. Generosity is a by-product of a grateful lifestyle. The more we recognize God’s gifts, the more we want to share them. Good stewards recognize that God is working through them, and they don’t put themselves above the people they have been called to help.

Stewardship: Managing God’s Gifts to Us
Do you get jealous? Do you focus more on the things that other people have than on the gifts that God has given to you? Are you pompous? Do you acquire more possessions to impress others? At times we are all guilty of these things.
Pray for more humility. Humility helps us become less "self-centered" and become more "God-centered" for the sake of others.
"He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed Him."
(Matthew 4:22)In Stewardship to God, we should give our first and best of everything to Him: our time in daily prayer, our talent in participating in one of our parish ministries and our treasure to support the financial needs of our parish mission.
