Stewardship is a disciple’s response made in love. It begins with gratefulness and recognizes that everything we are and everything that we have are gifts from God. The disciple’s response is an intentional, prayerfully planned and proportionate giving of our gifts of time, talent and treasure back to God. Stewardship is a way of life. How do I respond? An excellent way of sharing our gifts is by participating actively in the life of the Church, of our Parish Community. There are many opportunities for every individual to share their time, and talent with our Parish community. Many of our ministries are looking for volunteers and your participation will be fulfilling and rewarding. What is the result of Stewardship? For the steward, stewardship builds a deeper personal relationship with God and with the parish. For the parish, stewardship will create a more vibrant environment that encourages membership participation while attracting and welcoming newcomers  |
