A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder


of the Paulist Fathers
The genius of races or individuals does no modify or add, but serves
as an instrument to the development of Christianity. It is the Holy Spirit
which finds in their varied capacities the proper appreciation of the
revealed truth, and the aptitude of giving them their suitable
expression. For the Creator of the human race and Founder of the
Church and the Author of revelation are One; and it is through the
Church that God acts immediately or directly on men, and calls
individuals and races to come upon the scene and take that part for
which He destined them in the great drama of the worlds history.

[On the Mission of New Religious Communities, 1876]

If you have asked Father Hecker to pray for you or another person who is ill,
and you believe something miraculous has happened, please phone Fr. Paul
Robichaud, CSP, at (202) 269-2519 and tell him your story.

CATHOLIC STEWARDSHIP IS ABOUT TIME AND TALENT AND TREASURE


The traditional understanding of the biblical command to tithe is of giving 10% back to God from the many blessings we
receive. And in many Christian traditions this has been interpreted as giving a full 10% of ones income directly for the
support of the local church community to which one belongs.

Catholic stewardship takes a broader view. Because we are all members not only of a local parish, but also of a

diocesan, and national, and universal Church community, we interpret our responsibility to contribute to the support of
the Church as extending into these areas as well. The Parable of the Good Samaritan in the Gospel of Luke makes clear
that our neighbor is anyone in need. And, because we are members of the human family via our local communities
and citizens of a state and a nation, we also recognize that our responsibility of charitable giving extends into these
areas as well.

A handy formula used in many dioceses is the suggestion that in tithing, in giving back to God, Catholics should
contribute 5% of their gifts to the support of the local parish, 2.5% to diocesan and wider Church needs, and 2.5% to
the needs of the communities in which they live.
Using this formula: If you earn $50,000 a year, are you currently giving $2,500 or $50 a week to support your parish,
and $1,250 a year to other Church needs, as well as $1,250 for various other charities?
Unfortunately, this formula is more theory than fact for most parishes and dioceses. Were it a fact, there would be no
need for special collections and fundraising efforts.
Catholic Stewardship also teaches that our giving should not only be of our treasure, but of our time and talents as
well. And especially, not only of time or talent, but also some treasure.

Time and talent and treasure, a trinity of giving is what true stewardship is about. Being as generous as
possible in all three dimensions of stewardship is what the Church asks of us.

We dont preach or write very often about money from the pulpit or in Pastoral Corners at St. Philip Neri Parish. Not
often enough it would seem since our situation is now so desperate.
Now that you are hearing it, I hope you will all pray deeply for the guidance of the Holy Spirit when as individuals or
families you reflect and decide how much you will be giving in support of the Parish in your weekly or monthly giving for
Fiscal Year 2015/2016.

Fr. Charlie Brunick, CSP
