“Making Up” “Making up” is a phrase used among Catholic people who sup-

port their church by using the parish envelope system.

When someone misses Mass they place their usual offering in

their envelope and set it aside. The next time they attend Mass,

they deposit two or more envelopes into the collection.

“Making up” is really not a burden or additional sacrifice; it is

simply a new habit. By adopting this method of weekly support,

you provide the parish with a stable and reliable income.

As a sacrifice of praise, the people of St. Josephine Bakhita’s parish theme

for our church year is “The Joy of the Gospel.”

Stewardship Reflection ~ Stewards Return Gifts “Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid?”

(Romans 11:35)

St. Paul reminds us of a central fact of Stewardship. We cannot give

the Lord anything, because God already owns it all. God made eve-

rything. All that we can do is return a portion of God’s many gifts

back to Him. Sincere gratitude for our gifts opens our hearts to joy-

ful generosity!
