A true understanding of Stewardship begins with our
understanding of the Christian vocation and call of Christ. God
calls each of us to be a disciple and to live as a steward.
Stewardship isn’t just about giving in order to fill a need.
It is about living a life that shows gratitude to our Lord for
our lives, our skills, and our resources. Stewardship is first
and foremost opening ourselves to God’s love, and then gladly
returning that love in recognition that we are indeed One
Family in Christ.
Stewardship requires participation in the mission of the
Church. Stewardship is an opportunity for individuals and
families to work with Christ in making the mission of the Church
real, vibrant and alive. Each of us is here for a purpose. Each
of us is here to make a difference.
