    Stewardship Reflections for Bulletins

    25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
    “Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.” (Matthew 20:16) You’ve heard the saying “it’s not where you start, but how you finish.” This certainly applies to this Bible passage. We have a responsibility not only for our own lives, but for the lives of others as well. We are called to generously share our gifts with others, not hoard them for our own use. Our sincere gratitude and cheerful generosity will help us live “God-centered” lives and not “self-centered” lives.

    25o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
    “Entonces, los últimos serán los primeros, y los primeros serán los últimos.”  (Mateo 20:16) Seguramente ha escuchado el dicho “no se trata de dónde empiezas, sino de cómo terminas”. Esto ciertamente se aplica a este pasaje de la Biblia. No solo somos responsables de nuestras vidas, sino también de las vidas de otras personas. Somos llamados a compartir nuestros dones con generosidad, no a acumularlos para nuestro propio uso. Nuestra gratitud sincera y nuestra alegre generosidad nos llevará a vivir una Vida “centrada en Dios” y no una vida “egocéntrica”.

    Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
    “Seek the Lord while He may be found…” While seeking Him in prayer and the sacraments, listen to Him. Could it be you are being called by Jesus to serve as a priest, deacon, sister or brother?

    Vigésimo Quinto Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario
    “Busca al Señor, y lo encontraras…” En lo que Lo buscas en la oración y en los sacramentos, escúchalo. ¿Puede ser que Jesús está llamándole a servirle como sacerdote, diácono, hermana o hermano? Si piensa que Él podría ofrecerle esta gracia, comuníquese con la Oficina de Vocaciones al (508) 630-4473 o envíe un correo electrónico a: [email protected].

    Stewardship Reflections for Bulletins

    24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
    “For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.” (Romans 14:8) This is the essence of stewardship – everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God.We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts that God has given us, especially our very own lives.Pray to God, daily, and ask Him how He is calling you to the live the life that He intended for you.
     
    24o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
    “Si vivimos, para el Señor vivimos; y si morimos, para el Señor morimos. De manera que, tanto en la vida como en la muerte, pertenecemos al Señor.” (Romanos 14:8)  Esa es la esencia de la corresponsabilidad - todo lo que tenemos y todo lo que somos es un don de Dios.No somos los '"dueños" de nada, somos simplemente “administradores" de los dones que Dios nos ha dado, especialmente en nuestras propias vidas.Ore al Señor, diariamente, y pregúntele como lo llama a vivir la vida que Él ha destinado para usted.

    TO Parish Administration

    NEVER Trust emails that just don't "feel" right!
    If you see an email that SEEMS to be from someone you know that is asking for gift cards, or cash, or something that simly reads out of character. Look closely - the email is actually a scam. Don't blindly trust email requests without verifying addresses.

    Vigilance against Fraud
    A parish shared with us how someone tried to redirect an employee's paycheck via an alternate direct deposit account. ALWAYS BE CIRCUMSPECT! Before even considering such a change, never act just from an email. Consider the following:
    1. Have the employee complete a properly signed form along with the bank information Routing # , account  etc 
    2. Provide a voided check to be kept on record which matches that information
    3. Process the request thru the payroll service.  
    4. Keep the information in the employee's personnel file.

    It is EASY to set up an event announcement and registration/ticket form on your eCatholic website.

PLUS you can then send everyone a link by Flocknote to go to the site with one click from their phone, tablet or computer and get the tickets, make the donation or at least be aware of the event details to share with family and friends.

No Email system is foolproof (Gmail, MSN, Outlook, aol, Charter.net, Verizon.net,  etc.) and your provider may be very aggressively blocking emails from your inbox based on general algorithms. Please remember to check your junk mail regularly to see if emails from our Flocknote system or from worcesterdiocese.org or other sources are being inadvertently blocked. You can always use your email system’s rules when this happens to “always accept email from this sender.” Usually that option appears when you “Right Click’ on the email in question with your mouse.

    Employees or Independent Contractors?
    The Office of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has issued new guidance on the classification of hired personnel as employees or independent contractors. Hired personnel are considered employees unless: (1) the individual is free from the employers direction and control in connection with the performance of the service, both under his or her contract for the performance of service and in fact; (2) the service the individual performs is outside the usual course of business of the employer; and (3) the individual is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, profession, or business of the same nature as that involved in the service performed.
