 GIVING, PRAYING & SERVING - Commitment Weekend!
This weekend will be our opportunity to stop, pause, and evaluate our Stewardship GPS: Giving, Praying and Serving for the coming year. The Stewardship Annual Reports are arriving in mailboxes of registered parishioners, and we ask you to bring the enclosed commitment card to Mass with you this weekend.
Even though 2019 is weeks away, the liturgical calendar is coming to an end. We celebrate the beginning of a new liturgical year with the First Sunday of Advent on December 2. What better time than NOW to stop and make a Stewardship Resolution for our Giving, Praying and Serving for the coming year.
As we did last year, we will have a card for our youth, so they too can take a moment to ponder in what ways they hope to give, pray and serve this coming year.
Thank you!
Questions? Please contact Diane Kar at 480-998-3843 ext. 137 or dkar@stpatcc.org
If you are looking for inspiration, we want to share with you this video. Please watch and see how Stewardship GPS has been lived out in the lives of Molly, Mike and Brian. These are just three of the MANY stories we receive where, through personal stewardship or through the stewardship of our parish, lives are changed.

Begin your day of thanks by joining us for the great Thanksgiving of the Mass, as well as time together as a parish community.
