3 Dear Parishioners, God gives us many gifts, and we respond in many ways as good stewards. It is with deep gratitude that I recall your generous gifts to this parish in the past year as part of your expression of your gratitude to God. This past year, we introduced Parish Stewardship Renewal with the Rule of One. All good things come from God, so we were challenged to return to him by adding one hour of prayer per week, to give one hour of service per week, and to give one hour of wages per week. I am happy and encouraged by how many of you have stepped up to that challenge of sharing your time, talent and treasure. This report shows how much our volunteers have reached out to the poor and needy, have supported Liturgy and religious education programs, and have worked on fund-raising and community building. The financial report shows the ways that we have made use of the financial resources that have been given to our parish, and the way our community comes together in prayer and serves its people. In the past year we have made much needed repairs to the church and the priests house. With your continued support, we hope to continue to renovate our church building and to erect a cross outside the church to proclaim our Catholic identity. I would personally like to thank all parishioners who gave so much of their time, talent and treasure as well as the parish staff, Fr. Jeff, Fr. Ben and Deacon Phil who were a big part of the year s activities. Our entire faith community for the year has done well. We also welcome Fr. Joseph and look forward to his gifts and efforts in the new year. You are a people of many talents and graces. May the Lord bless you abundantly for your kindness! Yours in Christ, Monsignor Tuan Joseph Pham, Pastor!"#!$%&'()*+%,-.$)//0)1$*'.2*& #

15 I resolve to trust God more, believing that in His wisdom and abundance He will give me all that I need. I resolve to spend more time with God, giving a few more minutes each day to prayer, worship and spiritual reading. skills and talents so that my special strengths will make a difference in this world. I resolve to give a generous share of my treasure to God's work here on earth, giving from the first fruits of my labor. May our faithful stewardship bear witness to the love of Jesus Christ in our lives. We pray with grateful hearts, in Jesus' name. Amen.

16 PRACTICE THE RULE OF ONE The Rule of One is a great introduction into stewardship. This rule provides a practical way in which you can deepen your faith along three aspects of one theme. THE RULE OF ONE - commit to the following: ONE hour of prayer (outside of Mass) per week, and ONE hour of service within a ministry per week, and Give an average of one hour of service to the many ministries at Holy Spirit Church. ONE hour of wages per week to the support of the Church. Did you know you would be tithing 2.5% of your salary (40 hour work week) if you did that? Did you know that the average Catholic only gives 1% of their salary? From the US Bishops Pastoral Letter, Stewardship: A Disciple s Response: Life as a Christian steward requires continued involvement in the human vocation to cultivate material creation. Ecological stewardship means cultivating a heightened sense of human interdependence and solidarity. Baptism makes Christians stewards by grace, able to act explicitly on God s behalf in cultivating and serving the portion of the world entrusted to their care.
