What is Stewardship?

  1. Stewardship is acknowledging that all we have and all we are comes from God.
  2. Stewardship is an acknowledgement of God’s kingship over us.
  3. As Christian stewards we look to the life and teaching of Jesus for guidance in living.
  4. Stewardship has the power to give meaning, purpose and joy to our lives as we strive to follow God’s will.
  5. Our daily prayer should be “Lord, how do You want to work through me to fulfill Your kingdom.”

Stewardship Prayer

Almighty and ever-faithful Lord

Gratefully acknowledging Your mercy

and humbly admitting our need,

we pledge our trust in You and each other.

Filled with desire,

we respond to Your call for discipleship

by shaping our lives in imitation of Christ.

We profess that the call requires us

to be stewards of Your gifts.

As stewards, we receive Your gifts gratefully,

cherish and tend them in a responsible manner,

share them in practice and love with others,

and return them with increase to the Lord.

We Pledge to our ongoing formation as stewards

and our responsibility to call others to that same endeavor.

Almighty and ever-faithful God,

it is our fervent hope and prayer

that You who have begun this good work in us

will bring it to fulfillment in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

STEWARDSHIP

“…for almsgiving saves one from death and expiates sin. Those who regularly give alms shall enjoy a full life”

Tobit 2:9a

This committee strives to involve members of the parish to participate by sharing time and God-given talents with fellow parishioners in building a solid foundation. By offering their gifts, parishioners are able to affirm the belief that what one is and what one does really makes a difference. They also plan educational programs, training, and workshops for parishioners.
