Stewardship

A Stewardship Prayer

Generous and loving God,
You call us to be disciples of your Son Jesus
and good stewards of all your many gifts.
Open our minds and hearts to a greater awareness
and deeper appreciation of your countless blessings,
Transform us through the power of your Spirit
To nurture a Stewardship way of life marked
by faith-filled prayer, service to our neighbor
and generous sharing.
Teach us to be faithful servants of your gifts.
With your grace, may we return ten-fold
the gift entrusted to us.

 

We pray this through Christ, our Lord. Amen

The Stewardship committee helps to coordinate and animate a stewardship way of life within the Parish and its membership. The committee works under the direction of the Pastor and in conjunction with the, Parish staff, the Parish Council, the Finance Council and the various Parish organizations. The goals of the committee are:

  1. To help parish leaders, organizations, families and individual members grow in stewardship awareness and understanding, enabling them to grow in holiness.
  2. To nurture faith-filled family and personal prayer and parish worship.
  3. To foster and affirm greater involvement in service within the parish and the community.
  4. To promote increased levels of generous material and financial sharing by the parish, families and individuals.

Parishes grounded in the concepts of Stewardship report increases in personal, family and communal prayer; growth in mass attendance and participation; a proliferation of parish service organizations and events supported by an ever-growing number of volunteers; and the ability to not only meet but to exceed the parish budgetary needs, which in turn, enables the parish to grown their programs and to share their resources with others.

The committee meets on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Parish Center. If you would be interested in serving on this committee, please contact Glen Gardner at 602-768-2279 or Mike Smalley at 602-799-2256.
