conduit to carrying out God’s Will. The good works
that ABCD makes possible are a testimony to our
faith, a faith that is very much alive and is a part of

Stewardship - The three P’s of Giving:
Priority Giving - Giving should be a top priority in
your monthly budget. By prioritizing God’s plans for
your money, you avoid running short when it comes
time to give to Him first.
Percentage Giving - When you commit to give a
percentage of your income, its cut and dry. If you
truly approach your finances as if God were the
owner of it all, giving a percentage back to Him is
only appropriate.
Progressive Giving - Progressively increase the
percentage you give over the years. If you have
been giving 10% for quite a few years, maybe its
time to move up to 12 or 15%. As your income
grows, so should your giving. You may think, We
can’t afford to do that! If this is your reaction, you’ve
forgotten that with God all things are possible. Trust
Him Take the first step and sow your first “giving
seed”.

Pope Francis Facts: Born December 17th, 1936 in Buenos Aires, Argentina as Jorge Mario Bergoglio,
one of five children, his father was a railway worker who immigrated to Argentina from Italy. As a young
teenager, Jorge Bergoglio, lost a lung to an infection and as headed toward college, he chose the priesthood
over a career in chemistry. He joined the Jesuits in 1958 and was ordained a priest on December 13th, 1969.
In 1992, he was consecrated auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires and in 2001, Pope John Paul II, elevated
Archbishop Bergoglio to Cardinal. He was elected Pope on March 13th, 2013 on the 5th ballot of the
conclave, during its second day, taking the name of Francis after St. Francis of Assisi.
