Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church offers many different opportunities for returning our gifts of time, treasure and talent to God. As stewards of God-given skills and abilities, when we serve in a ministry, we thank God, share our faith with others, and enhance the life of our parish and community.
Some of us – or each of us at some times in our hectic lives – are blessed with the gift of Time, whether it’s a few hours once a week or an hour every day or some other piece of time which has not been eaten up by the necessities of our busy lives. We are called to consider filling those periods of time with some act of service, from caring for the plants in the church to serving a meal to the homeless. Our Worship and Ministries pages have many examples of how we might consider filling our uncommitted moments with ways to be good stewards of the gift of Time.
All of us have been blessed with some skill or Talent, but sometimes we think that our “talent” is not good enough to share. However, the desire to participate in a new activity or service sometimes helps us to grow in our skills. Many who are involved in OLL Ministries have taken a leap of faith, offering what they have, and discovering that there was more inside of them than they knew. Each of us have been blessed with special talents – whether it’s the ability to relate to other people, to create beauty through art or music, to think strategically and organize plans and events, to impart your knowledge and teach others, etc. Remember what Jesus said about not hiding your light under a bushel! Our OLL ministries could benefit greatly by your gifts, and the entire community would be blessed. All through this website, you can find avenues where you can offer yourTalent.
