There are over 60 ministries here at Saint Bede that serve the spiritual and material needs of the parish and community, even during a pandemic. We invite every parishioner to get involved in a ministry, to experience the love and joy of Christ through service to others.
Stewardship is part of our calling as Catholic Christians, it gives meaning to our lives. Our stewardship is brought to life through the celebration of the Eucharist, prayer, and service to others. Saint Bede is blessed with parishioners who with their time, talent, and treasure generously support the ministries that touch thousands of lives. Changing and growing into the likeness of Christ is not just greater knowledge of our faith, but doing what God’s Word says. Here are a few ways we carry out our stewardship of God’s gifts:"Be hospitable to one another without complaining. As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied Grace"
1 Peter 4:9-10
We don't like to think of it but it does happen. We become ill or incapacitated and our family is left to make decisions about our health care. Do you have your wishes spelled out? Do you know what the church suggests? How about in case of your death, have you planned for your funeral and your earthly repose? All of these are important issues to think about, in advance. It is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family, and we have the resources for you. Download our guide on Advance Medical Directives and our Funeral Planning Guide.
