Stewardship Committee
Christian Stewardship is the spirituality of acknowledging God’s gifts to us, managing these gifts wisely, and directing a portion of these gifts to serving God’s kingdom. The Stewardship Committee serves to foster this spirituality and to invite all within the parish to “make a return to the Lord” from the gifts God has given us. Stewardship is more than what one gives to charity – it is a way of life. Anyone who embraces this spirituality will find it life-changing.

The purpose of this committee is to educate, communicate, and provide opportunities for the parish community to participate in stewardship. The committee emphasizes parishioners’ commitment of Time, Talent, and Treasure to the well-being of the parish, the people of God, and the common good. Parishioners are invited each year to commit themselves to particular times of prayer, to offer their talents and skills, and to begin the practice of tithing as an expression of Christian giving.
