Stewardship Moment: “What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” - Matthew 16:26 St. Francis of Assisi said, “Remember, you are what you are in the eyes of God, and nothing else.” We often forget this stewardship wisdom when we spend all of our time, talent and treasure to gain more of the world’s riches. We need to set our priorities based on God’s values and not the values of the material world.

Real Presence Radio: Stories of faith. Voices of hope. Your local community brought together by a shared mission. Join us for our fall live drive September 15-17 from 7am-7pm on 99.7 FM in Jamestown to be a part of what it takes to keep Catholic radio on the air.

I will be away on vacation beginning Mon. Aug. 31st though Mon., Sept. 7th. Weekday Masses, confession, and adoration are cancelled during this time, but people will still gather to pray the rosary and daily readings. Please welcome Fr. Dale Kinzler who will celebrate the 1st Saturday Mass at Sacred Heart at 8:30 am Sat., Sept. 5th as well as the weekend Masses on Sept. 5th and 6th. Thank you! ~ Fr. Leier

Stewardship Moment: “Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid?” - Romans 11:35 St. Paul reminds us of a central fact of stewardship. We cannot give God anything - He already owns it all. God made everything, including us. Since we are made in His image, we too, are called to be generous. How we use our God-given gifts becomes our gift back to Him. Gratitude for all we have been given opens our hearts to joyful generosity! And, through our generosity, we just may be the answer to someone else’s prayer.
