The meaning of Stewardship as a way of life is more complex than asking people to give money or to volunteer in the parish.  It is a way of life; it is all encompassing and inclusive of all the ministries in our parish. It is an expression of discipleship and a framework in which to put the mission of the Church around.

The main objective of parish stewardship is to permeate parish life and activity so that the faithful recognize the call to be Christian Stewards.  It is a true giving of TIME, TALENT, AND TREASURE.

“A Christian steward is one who

- receives God’s gifts gratefully,

- cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner,

- shares them in justice and love with others, and

- returns them with increase to the Lord.”

Stewardship provides an opportunity for each of us to consider our level of involvement and self-giving to our parish and community in light of how God has blessed us.  In a culture that delivers a never-ending series of messages to live "life for yourself" and "spend all you can," we do well to focus on the alternative message of the Gospel - A message that is so full of real freedom and true hope.

The Parish Stewardship Program is the most important foundation to a comprehensive program of parish development.
