Steward Saint: St. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231)
Feast Day: June 13
An Augustinian monk, Anthony intended to go to
northern Africa to preach to the Moors, but illness brought him back to Italy. There he met St. Francis of Assisi, was ordained a priest, and became a Franciscan. A theologian and Scripture scholar, he was also a gentle, persuasive preacher who practiced what he preached and converted many. He famously said "Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak."

Steward Saint: St. Barnabas, Apostle
Feast Day: June 11
St. Barnabas is one of those who were not among the original twelve disciples but who were called “apostles” by the early Church. The first picture of Barnabas we get in Scripture is of a man selling his property and laying the proceeds at the feet of the disciples. He preached the Gospel in Antioch, where the followers of Jesus were first called “Christians,” and accompanied St. Paul on his first missionary journey. What an encouragement to good stewardship is this man whose very name means “son of encouragement”! St. Barnabas, pray for us that all may say of us what Scripture says of you: “He was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith” (Acts 11:23).

Steward Saint: St. Ephrem (306 - 373)
Feast Day: June 9
Described as the greatest Christian poet of the early Church, St. Ephrem used his poetic gift to preach against the heresies of his
day. Using the songs of heretical groups and writing orthodox Christian words for those melodies, he became one of the first to introduce singing into the public worship of the Church. His songs became a means to teach doctrine to people who had no formal education. St. Ephrem was also a deacon who served by helping to distribute to the poor the donations of the wealthy during a famine in 373. Clearly, here was a good steward who used his gifts of time and talent in the service of others.
