 Stewardship and Development Thoughts from Judy Held
President, Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana
Stewardship Thought: whatever you did for one of the least of my brothers, you did for me -
MATTHEW 25:40
Most of us are generous when its convenient for us. We are generous when we have the time or the
money. But, generosity is the opposite of that. It means giving of ones time, money, compassion,
forgiveness or mercy when its not convenient; when its not on our schedule, but on the other persons
schedule.
Stewardship of Treasure: Are you planning your 2017 year-end charitable giving? Please remember the
Church. For information on receiving greater tax and/or income benefits this year for your gift, call the
Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana at 800-332-9998, ext. 120 or send an email
to judy@catholicfoundationmt.org. The info is free and confidential!
Popes Universal Intention

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!

Please Pray For 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
Janeen Brookie, LaVonne Compton, Gerry Williams, Gloria Coombs, Linda Berg, Myrtle Hould, Jeanie
