The November-December issue of Catholic Herald Sacramento magazine has been published. The theme for this issue is stewardship. The digital edition of the magaz...ine is available at https://www.scd.org/catholic-herald-magazine In the cover story, Father Avram Brown, pastor of St. Isidore Church- Yuba City and Helen Gomez, coordinator of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, describe the parish's efforts to spearhead intentional stewardship and how parishioners are growing as disciples who are the ultimate stewards of God's gifts. With visible signs rather than quantifiable metrics per se, parishioner Tomas Hernandez offers his testimony to stewardship alive within him as a disciple returning to the active practice of his faith. Other feature stories in this issue include Bishop Jaime Soto's column on: "Gaudi's Catholic ingenuity recognized the Holy Family as a door into the marvelous mystery of God's mercy"; how Tom and Jane Meuser of St Patrick Catholic Church in Placerville say "when much is given, much is required of us"; Beth Mullin, a member of the board of directors of The Catholic Foundation, shares how doing a daily check-in can help make stewardship a way of life; how Tony Riehl, executive director of The Catholic Foundation, is working with parishes to form communities of stewardship; Eric McArdle of Catholic Stewardship Consultants says stewardship is about "taking continual steps closer to Christ"; and through "Mercy in Motion," teens learn about corporal and spiritual works of mercy through community service projects.

O God, glory of the faithful and life of the just, by the Death and Resurrection of whose Son we have been redeemed, look mercifully on your departed servants, ...that, just as they professed the mystery of our resurrection, so they may merit to receive the joys of eternal happiness. Señor Dios, gloria de los fieles y vida de los justos, que nos has redimido por la muerte y resurrección de tu Hijo, acoge con bondad a tus fieles difuntos, que creyeron en el misterio de nuestra resurrección, y concédeles alcanzar los gozos de la eterna bienaventuranza.
