  • Parish Stewardship - Prayer, Service, Generosity

    Everything we have is a gift from God. Stewardship is saying "yes" to God and returning what is already His by giving of our time in prayer, service to others and giving generously of our resources. Stewardship is a way of life!

    The Stewardship and Development Office serves as a resource for parishes, schools and Catholic organizations.

    What We Provide:

    • Parish consultation to assist with programming, planning and committee development
    • Training for Stewardship Renewal 
    • Stewardship resources and materials
    • National Stewardship conference opportunities
    • Conferences, workshops and presentations for clergy and laity
    • Stewardship & Development Consultant List (recommended)
  • Stewardship: A Disciple's Response

    In 1992, the Bishops of the United States wrote a letter to all Catholics entitled “Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response.” In this letter they laid out a vision of what it means to live as a believer. They envisioned a way of life in which each of us saw everything around us as the gift of a gracious and loving God; a way of life in which each of us understood and lived out our own unique place in God’s plan. A way of life rooted in gratitude and lived out in love – in a nutshell, the way of life of a disciple.

    The Stewardship “process” is well organized easily followed and can be adapted to accommodate the personality of any parish... or individual. The results of active Stewardship can be quite profound.

    “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.” 1992 Bishops’ Pastoral on Stewardship – Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response.
