This weekend is the end of our Thanksgiving holiday, an American tradition with a distinctly religious foundation, one with a special focus on our obligation of stewardship and generosity to each other, in grateful remembrance of all the blessings God has bestowed upon us. Gratitude lies at the very heart of stewardship.

Thanksgiving is an American holiday with a distinctly religious foundation. Thanksgiving focuses on our obligation of stewardship and generosity to each other, in grateful remembrance of all the blessings God has bestowed upon us. Gratitude lies at the very heart of stewardship.

Regular readers of this page in our weekly bulletin know that we always present an honest assessment of our parish finances and our goals for our shared future. We ask that everyone carefully consider what we have read and heard. Then, take an honest look at how our lives have been blessed by God and how we might repay those blessings with generosity to our parish and the many ministries through which we help and assist each other.

Stewardship involves our gifts of time, talent and treasure. Let’s talk about time. COVID restrictions are mostly an increasingly distant memory. Vaccinations are routine, school is in full session, work routines have become more flexible to adapt to people’s desires for more work from home. New experiences are planned and yet we remember the traditional need to return as a community to our basilica for worship, for prayer and for spiritual comfort...

There are just two months remaining in the year, so it’s time to seriously think about our 2023 tax returns and how we can support our parish in a tax-advantaged way. Certainly, the primary motivation for our charitable contributions to Queen of All Saints Parish is the generous return to God for the great gifts he has given us.

Remember how the basilica ceiling looked in 2017? We know that the last few years have been especially trying times for our parish finances from a major capital repair perspective. We were faced with the sudden and unexpected need to replace the basilica ceiling during 2017/2018...

Here is how our parish campus looked in 1955, when all our buildings had been erected except for the new church. Then, as now, all those other buildings were in heavy use as important parts of a healthy and vibrant parish...

Prayer - Spending Time with God Stewardship involves spending time with God. Recognizing that every day is a gift from God, we strive to spend some of each day with God, through prayer, Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, reading scripture, quiet time, meditation and other spiritual activities. During this time we ask God how he wants us to use the gifts he has given to us.

Our parish has always depended on the generosity of our parishioners and friends, and the challenges of tomorrow are no exception. There are many ways we can show our support, including...

There is just one-third of the year remaining so it’s not too early to start thinking about our 2023 tax returns and how we can support our parish in a tax-advantaged way.

Lord Jesus Christ,   As we celebrate our national holiday in honor of the dignity of labor and our duty to use the fruits of our labor for others, teach us to recognize you, and help us follow you amidst our busy life.

We hear this phrase often. What does this mean? Our time—perhaps the most obvious way to satisfy this obligation is to attend weekly Mass ...

These are unusual time for investors. Despite a difficult 2022, the stock market has experienced solid returns so far in 2023. In fact, the market has risen about 60% over the past five years, yet the benefits of a rising market are not shared equally among all, including throughout our parish.

July is the heart of our hot, languid summers. It’s vacation time for many, time to rev up the grill or skip out to the beach. Even our reading material changes with the heat and light: that heavy biography becomes an easy-on-the beach thriller. So it’s probably true that our approach to stewardship changes with the seasons as well – it changes but doesn’t disappear.

We talk about stewardship as time, talent and treasure. Let’s talk about time. COVID restrictions are long behind us but we are still working out new and more flexible work and recreation schedules, yet we remember a constant—the need to return to our basilica for worship, for prayer and for spiritual comfort.

Is there such a thing as a stewardship of recreation? Some people might dismiss the thought. But they’d be wrong. Author Thomas Cahill observes that, in receiving the Ten Commandments, the ancient Hebrews did something no other ancient society had ever done: they established a day of rest. The God who made the universe and rested bids us to do the same, calling us to a weekly restoration of prayer, study, and recreation (or re-creation)...

The beginning of June means summer is right around the corner. Flowers are blooming and trees are in full leaf. And Christian stewards are reminding themselves that stewardship continues as we head into the days of vacation, barbecues, summer reading lists, family reunions and trips to the beach.
