"Invite Someone to Attend Church With You This Sunday"Welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. For Christ’s life of service was to show that God is faithful to God’s promises, and to enable all to praise God for God’s mercy. May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace by means of your faith, so that your hope may continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:7-13)
Stewardship
Our goal at St. Gerard Parish is to develop, foster, sustain, the spirituality, understanding and practice of stewardship. Stewardship is an attitude, not a department. It consists of each baptized Catholic becoming a good steward of their time, talent and treasure.

From the Bishop

E-mail.
Online research.
Message forums.
Instant access to people and information all over the world.
These are all things which, with our easy access to the Internet, we take for granted.
They are also almost entirely unavailable in Africa.
Hidden beneath the physical poverty in Africa evident from newspaper, radio, and television coverage throughout the world, there is another severe poverty: a poverty of information and communication. This poverty pervades every aspect of life, from education, to medicine, to agriculture, to the development of communities.
In order for Africa to solve its internal problems and claim full membership in the international community, this poverty must be stopped. African communities must gain access to the information readily available in more developed parts of the world, and they must be able to communicate with each other and with the world community. The best, quickest, and easiest way to do this is to bring the Internet to Africa.
