This Week’s Stewardship Reflection
Today we celebrate the third Sunday of Easter, and the readings today highlight for us the redemptive nature of the cross and the joy of the resurrection.
In the first reading, we hear Peter tell his audience, “The author of life you put to death, but God raised Him from the dead. Of this we are witnesses.”
Christ had to die in order to rise from the dead, but we see in His resurrection that God’s plans are greater than any we can imagine. So, as His disciples and stewards of his many gifts, we give ourselves to Him as His servants know at all time – in joy and in suffering – His plans far outweigh our own. We are His disciples, and in giving Him ourselves, we ask Him to do with us what He will.

1) The preparation and delivery of food baskets at Christmas.
2) As well as gifts to our shut-ins and the elderly in the Montreal Extended Care at Christmas and Easter.
3) Baskets of food given to Benedict Labre House (for the homeless).
4) Donation to Development & Peace from our collections for the month of March.
5) Food coupons for the needy throughout the year.
6) Benedict Labre House Dinner project.
