From the PastorJune 7, 2026
Reverend Mark S KunigonisPastor · St. John Cantius
My Friends,
True stewardship means giving back to God proportionately, sacrificially and generously in not one, but all three of these areas. Each area is an integral part of ourselves; to hold onto any of them is to hold back from giving ourselves over completely to our Father, as Jesus did. "Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not deem equality with God something to be grasped at. Rather, He emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, He humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross." (Phil 2:5-8)
In stewardship we are called to give proportionately of our gifts, not in equal measure nor in comparison to that given by others. Each of us, for reasons known only by God, receives varied levels of gifts. We are called to return those gifts accordingly in a sacrificial and generous manner.
Peace,Fr. Mark
