Stewardship
2026 Faith Commitment
One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.
Proverbs 11:24-25
Note from Our Pastor
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus notices a poor widow placing two small coins into the temple treasury and says, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all the others” (Luke 21:3). Her offering was an act of profound sacrifice and love for God.
Sacrificial giving opens us to God’s blessings in ways we cannot predict. It deepens our faith and allows the blessings in our lives to flow outward to others.
Your giving to our parish matters. It strengthens our community, nurtures the next generation, and brings the life-changing message of Christ’s love to those far from God. Most importantly, your giving to Nativity matters because it transforms your heart and draws you closer to the Lord.
You are a blessing to our parish. Thank you for your faith, your trust, and your investment in the work God is calling us to continue in the year ahead.
Blessings,
Fr. Michael White
Blessed to Be a Blessing
When you give in your place of worship as an act of worship, you are becoming more of the person God wants you to be. When you give, you are tangibly making a difference in someone’s life. Marriages are restored, lives are healed, and people meet Jesus. There’s no better investment in the world than the local parish.
