WE
ARE A LIVE AND VIBRANT PARISH
Don't bury the talents you've been blessed with
Matthew
25:14
The Parable
of the Talents
"Again, it will be like a man
going on a journey, who called his servants and
entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five
talents of money, to another two talents, and to
another one talent, each according to his ability.
Then he went on his journey. The man who had received
the five talents went at once and put his money
to work and gained five more. So also, the one with
the two talents gained two more. But the man who
had received the one talent went off, dug a hole
in the ground and hid his master's money.
"After a long time the master of those servants
returned and settled accounts with them. The man
who had received the five talents brought the other
five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with
five talents. See, I have gained five more.'
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful
servant! You have been faithful with a few things;
I will put you in charge of many things. Come and
share your master's happiness!'

KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS
IF
you are a practical Catholic man at least 18 years
old, the Knights of Columbus may be just what you
have been searching for. You can become as involved
as you wish. Just remember that the Knights offer
an opportunity for fellowship with people who share
the same beliefs, and who recognize the same duty
to God, community and family as yourself. Family is
paramount in the Knights of Columbus; husbands, wives,
children and grandchildren. All Knights of Columbus
programs allow families to work together to aid their
church and community while enjoying the fellowship
of other families in the parish. For more information,
