 Stewardship and Development Thoughts from Judy Held
President, Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana
Stewardship Thought: Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you have been faithful in small
matters, I will give you great responsibilities.- MATTHEW 25:21
God expects us to nurture and develop the gifts He has given us and then generously return a portion with
increase. He doesnt want us to waste or hoard the gifts He has given us; He expects us to grow our gifts,
use them wisely and be generous with them. Unfortunately, many of us are not generous in proportion to
all that God has given us.
Stewardship of Treasure: Appreciated stock makes a great gift to benefit our parish! You can even
potentially receive a generous tax credit for doing so in 2017. Ask the Catholic Foundation of Eastern
Montana for information: 800-332-9998, ext. 120 or judy@catholicfoundationmt.org.

Drinking the Spirit
Drinking the Spirit is a great opportunity for us to gather as adult Catholics to grow in our Catholic faith
and as a community. Each month we will have a different Catholic topic with a presenter. Questions and
discussions are encouraged. We are each responsible for our own "beverages" and food. This should be a
relaxing and enjoyable way of learning about the Catholic faith. Please plan on joining us, spread the
word, and bring a friend!
Our next Drinking the Spirit will be on December 4th, 7 PM at the Tin Cup. Fr. Bart Stevens of St.
Anthonys Parish has been rescheduled to speak on his conversion to Catholicism and journey to the
priesthood! All are invited to join us to hear his story!
