What is Stewardship?

Stewardship is based on the idea that all we have and all we are comes from God.

In order to thank God for our many blessings, we must give back a portion of the time, talent and treasure that God has blessed us with.

Stewardship is not a program, rather it is an attitude, a way of life.

Stewardship calls for us to share ourselves, to be holy people, to step-up and to take the risk of walking with our savior, Jesus Christ.

We are all called to be disciples and caretakers of God's many gifts.

Stewardship is not about tithing, sacrificial giving or fund raising.

Stewardship is about conversion and discipleship.

"At the base of stewardship is a strong emphasis on public and private prayer, including the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. A strong spirituality is at the base of this successful stewardship effort." "The ability of our diocese to reach where needed depends on the spirit of Stewardship rekindled in our hearts by the Lord." - Bishop Robert J. Baker, S.T.D
