Stewardship is our Time, Talent, and Treasure returned to God in thanksgiving for all that He has given us.
A life of Stewardship is rooted in Scripture and is a disciple’s response to the mission and ministry of the local and universal Church in sharing the Gospel. Stewardship recognizes that we, as individuals, are not the owners of our lives, our time, our talent, nor our treasure, but stewards or managers of these God-given gifts.
Registered parishioners/families should be in good standing with respect to Stewardship by:
*Practicing the Catholic faith and living Catholic values
*Sharing in the prayer life of the parish through weekly participation in the Mass and Holy Days of Obligation.
*Supporting the life and mission of the parish through acts of service by volunteering and assisting.
*Practicing biblical tithing to the best of their ability as an expression of gratitude to God for His blessings received.
All courses are available on demand, so you can go at your own pace. We’ll also offer an optional small-group class for those who’d like to go through the material together—just indicate your interest when you sign up.
