Ministry Fair 2010



My dear brothers and sisters, As St. Paul has reminded us, now, there are a variety of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good[1].

A Time and Talent Ministry Fair is coming! We are planning this event held to generate awareness, enthusiasm, and involvement among parishioners, ultimately increasing parish ministry. It is an annual celebration of the work of the Church, a special event that recognizes the importance of all volunteer efforts.

The Ministry Fair is a wonderful way for parishioners to meet and gather information about the various ministries, committees, organizations, and educational opportunities that are available within the parish community. Each ministry is showcased through the use of a display at a table or booth. The Fair serves to educate parishioners about stewardship while also helping them grow in their relationship with the Lord. This festive event allows parishioners to ask questions, discern their many gifts and talents, and learn how they can share their gifts within a particular parish ministry. For those already involved in ministry, parishioners are afforded an opportunity to recommit their time and talent in order to carry out the parish’s mission statement and help build the Kingdom of God on earth. A Ministry Fair also encourages the practice of stewardship of time and talent by fostering a deeper realization about our Baptismal call to be followers and disciples of Jesus Christ and member of the Catholic Church and the parish. My prayer is that you all participate in this event. More information will be available in the next weeks.  

Peace and blessings¡
Fr. Agustin, Pastor.
