Stewardship

Because of you, our parish is able to offer the liturgical services, ministries, sacraments, educational programs, fellowship and cultural activities that cultivate community, strengthen families and transform lives.

God gives first…

“Everything in heaven and earth is yours…..all riches and wealth come from you.  Now, our God, we give you thanks and we praise your glorious name.  Yet my people and I cannot give you anything, because everything is a gift from you, and we have only given back what is yours already.”  ( I Chronicles 29:11-14)

So…

When we give our stewardship commitment, we should remember that we have not given God something, which belongs to us and for which He should be grateful.  Rather, we should be thankful for the bountiful gifts with which God has blessed us and gladly offer our assistance to His Church.
