Introducing Our New Parish Stewardship Newsetter
Howdy Parishioners,
Welcome to the first issue of our new parish newsletter! Inspired by the Holy Spirit and supported by the intercession of St. Scholastica, our growth vision for 2023 is to have undergone a conversion: witnessing the faith, building Church, and discipling others! As a parish community, this conversion is about being an intentional disciple of Jesus Christ! Through this newsletter, we hope to share stories that will help us all to better understand who we are as Catholics, what we are doing as individual members of Christ’s family, and creative ways to be disciples and good stewards of God’s gifts. Being an intentional disciple of Jesus Christ means practicing good stewardship: it’s what disciples do as a way of life.

Many times, we do things and don’t realize how our faith is at work or why we do them. To intentionally do what disciples do for God and love of neighbor is a conversion! Now is the time to grow and develop the gifts that God has given each of us to become intentional disciples of Jesus Christ and to practice stewardship.
In upcoming issues, we will focus on what’s going on in the St. Scholastica community, and how those activities and events are changing hearts and minds and helping parishioners grow closer to Christ and each other. Each article will ultimately focus on Christ at work within our community through the stewardship way of life.
We hope that this newsletter will be a successful means for ongoing education and formation in our faith. I pray it will be a vehicle through which you are informed and inspired to become more actively involved in the life of Christ and our parish. As we strive to develop stewardship as a way of life at St. Scholastica, the support and involvement of each parishioner is necessary to sustain the life of our parish. You have a unique role to fill in the life of the parish as we live our lives as disciples of Christ. May the Holy Spirit renew and refresh all of us as we work together to build our parish family through the use of our time, talent, and treasure.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Robert Wedow, Pastor
