I THINK THAT CATHOLIC STEWARDSHP PROPERLY UNDERSTOOD AND LIVED IS THE VISION OF PASTORAL MINISTRY POPE LEO HAS FOR THE CHURCH IN TERMS OF EVANGELIZATION AND PUTTING GOD’S WORD AND SACRAMENTS AT THE CENTER OF “BEING CHURCH”

Feeling nostalgic. I found this Stewarship video from 16 years ago, 2009 that we did when I was pastor of St. Joseph Church in Macon. We did a series of annual videos shown at all our Masses during our Stewardshp Renewal. I see many great people in this video some who have gone home to the Lord but were such an inspiration to me and others.

 This was the description of the video done by volunteers and at no cost to the parish:

This is a video about discipleship through stewardship at St. Joseph Catholic Church Parish in Macon, Georgia. It has been the marvelous work of the church's Stewardship Council headed by Beckie Harwood in collaboration with Lovel Miguel who edited and authored the video. Thank you to all the pastoral leaders and parishioners in this video for sharing aspects of their stewardship.

Whatever happened to Fr Justin? He was pretty helpful to me during a difficult time after he moved to south Georgia and we had moved away from Macon.

He left the active ministry and married. I haven’t heard anything recently about how he is doing or if he was properly laicized with his marriage blessed in the Church. I enjoyed having him as a Parochial Vicar and as a newly ordained priest. I guess I didn’t do as good a job as I should have?

Father McDonald, I am sure you did a fine job. I knew a handsome young priest in a former parish who after 5 years left the priesthood to marry. Sadly, he was a very traditional priest who inspired many.
