WELCOME TO ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC CHURCH STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT In today’s second reading, St. Paul urges the Corinthians to “do all for the glory of God.” If we follow that advice in everything we do, we cannot help but be good stewards!

VOCATION THOUGHT Make the story public! Tell the world what Jesus has done for you. Consider a life of preaching, teaching, and service as a priest or deacon, sister or brother. Read Mark 1: 40-45.
