Stewardship: In Time of Uncertainty

It is hard to believe that it was two and a half long years ago that a global health crisis from COVID-19 was sprung on us very quickly and without warning.  Every day seemed to bring more uncertainty and we were called to do our best for ourselves and for each other, even in our gatherings for Mass and other liturgies here at Queen of All Saints.

And it was during times like these that our Church became even more important, as we sought to reach out and serve people in our communities.

Remember, we are made in the image of God, the ultimate giver of all that we are and all that we have. We look the most like God when we are generous. We reflect the face of Jesus when we compassionately and generously share what God has given us. Generous giving grows from our need to give as part of our spiritual journey, rather than the Church’s need to receive. In other words, the question is, “What is God calling me to give?” rather than “What does my Church need from me?”


(Pictured here: Marble absorbs water and the longer marble is saturated the more damage is done.  About 5 years ago we learned about hidden water damage to the marble above and behind the Sacred Heart and St. Joseph Altars and were forced to remove that marble that was beyond repair. Since then, we purchased replacement marble at an advantageous price and stored it until we were able to identify and correct the source of water infiltration into the left and right transepts. Now that those spaces are totally dried out, we are satisfied that we have fixed the problem and we can now happily replace the marble behind the side altars. Here is the completed work above and behind the Sacred Heart Altar.  Next up is the St. Joseph Altar.)
