“Jesus raised his eyes
to heaven and said...’I glorified you on
earth by finishing the work that you gave me
to do.” John 17:4
Christ fulfilled his vocation by finishing
the work God gave him. An important part of
our stewardship is the discernment of our
unique vocation. Stewardship is not just a
matter of doing more volunteer work. It is a
response to the personal call God makes to
each of us –to fulfil the unique tasks that
God has given to us.

BICENTENNIAL MOMENT
The May 1, 1948 issue of The Record called
upon diocesan Catholic hospitals to take the
lead in integration by admitting black
citizens. Sts. Mary & Elizabeth and St.
Joseph Hospital began taking black patients
that same year. During this era, The Record
frequently raised questions of conscience,
especially about race, in its editorial
columns. Serving God’s People Yesterday,

Prayer for Church Merger
O God, you taught the hearts of the faithful
people by sending them the light of your
Holy Spirit:
Send us that same Spirit:
To be our guide on this path - a path that
is new to us and not easily traveled.
To give us the wisdom and courage we need in
creating our new parish.
To comfort us and calm our fears as we grow
into this new faith community.
To help us understand our part in shaping
this new community.
We ask this trusting your words spoken
through Jeremiah,
“I know the plans I have for you...plans for
your welfare...Plans to give you a future
full of hope.”
Amen

And Love to
Complete your life.
