“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” (Revelations 22:13)

This is a reminder of how a Steward should live life 24

hours a day, 7 days a week – putting God first in all that we do. Not only when we are at Mass and parish activities, but when we are in the world, at work or at

school. Living gratefully and generously is a lifestyle; it should influence how we make all my daily decisions.

community here in Southern New Jersey who have

been resettled through Catholic Charities, providing

and opportunity for all attendees to meet, encounter,

and welcome our neighbors - answering to Pope Fran-

cis: call to “Share the Journey” with migrants and refu-

gees.
