Giving
stewardship and development
"Stewardship is a way of life, a way of thanking God for all His blessings by returning a portion of the Time, Talent and Treasure allotted to us."
Stewardship
Stewardship is based on the understanding that all we have received has been given to us from God and is defined most simply as making the most responsible use of one's gifts and talents.
The practice of Stewardship is based on the spiritual principles of the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus; and where it has been implemented, both givers' and receivers' lives have been changed.
As Catholic Christians initiated into the Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, we become caretakers of all that God has given to us. As stewards of creation, we are entrusted with the responsibility of caring for God's Kingdom. Stewardship, for Catholics, means helping the Church's mission with time, money, and personal resources of all kinds. This sharing is seen as a serious duty of members of our Church.
Stewardship engenders a spirituality that deepens our relationship with the Lord. It involves intentional, planned and proportionate giving of our time, talent and treasure.
