Stewardship
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Friday, September 22, 1:00 PMJanuary 1, 2023 Update - Lectio Divina or “Divine Reading” has been available to all parishioners for about four years. It is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God’s word. Traditionally, Lectio Divina has four separate steps: read; meditate; pray; contemplate. We meet by Zoom every Friday at 1:00 P.M. We cover the scripture for the upcoming Sunday. There are no workbooks or registration fees. Come anytime you have the opportunity; you won’t regret it. Zoom ID: 243 657 9087; Password: 663708. If you have any questions, please call Bill Hewitt at 707-378-3706.Read More
