Stewardship is about giving back. It is about receiving the gifts God has given us and sharing them with Him and with those around us. Stewardship is a way of life -- a way that is dedicated to the giving of ourselves by offering God things that are most dear to us in our lives: our time, our talent, and our treasure. 

How can you help? There are so many ways to share your time, talents, and treasures! One of them is by participating in one or more of our parish ministries that are currently looking for volunteers. Click here or on the icon to the right for more information about those opportunities.

In addition, all are encouraged to fill out the skills, talents, & needs survey put together by our Stewardship Committee by visiting https://forms.gle/cXVXcS7hisAwRH1Q8

Stewardship Prayer

Almighty and Gracious God, giver of all good gifts,
who gives us yourself in all times and in every place,
give me, we pray, a spirit of generosity and love 
as we become your sons and daughters
through the saving love of Jesus Christ.

Perfected by service, make me your servant.
To a dark and broken world let me bear your light.
Make me, O Lord, powerful in love for those things
entrusted to us to care for on this earth.

May our Churches be full of those seeking you
and of those thanking you for your generosity
May gratitude dominate my heart and perfect me
by leading me to beautify our world
as you have beautified our darkened lives with your divine light.

May your Son’s light be seen in me always
as we live in the unity created by His Body and Blood.

May we share, and give, and provide, and serve bravely in our parish
for your glory and the realization of beauty in the gifts we’ve been given.
For you live and reign forever and ever.  Amen.
