Prayer - Spending Time with God
Stewardship involves spending time with God. Recognizing that every day is a gift from God, we strive to spend some of each day with God, through prayer, Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, reading scripture, quiet time, meditation and other spiritual activities. During this time we ask God how he wants us to use the gifts he has given to us.
Participation - Sharing Talent
Stewardship involves sharing talent. Recognizing that God has given each individual unique skills and talents so that together we can do the work of our Lord, we strive to share our own talents and to encourage and welcome others to also use their talents to participate in the mission and ministry of the Church.
Proportionate Giving
Stewardship calls us to realize that each of us is called to give as God has given to us. We no longer base our giving on what others are giving. We no longer excuse ourselves from giving because we do not see others giving. Rather we give in proportion to all that God has given to us.
Our parish is our family in faith, and like any good family
we are called to be present for each other.
We support each other in our shared worship,
in our shared prayers, and in our shared experiences.
