Stewardship
Treasure-Time-Talent
Everything is a gift
It is on this premise the foundation of stewardship is built. Our life, our property, our health, our talents, our money — these are all gifts from God. A "way of life" recognized by our faith means that everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God. A "way of life" that says "Yes" to what God has entrusted to you.
This is why we are called to gratefully receive gifts, develop them responsibly, and share them with others. Doing so is a response to God's generosity and an expression of our discipleship.
What is stewardship?
When it comes to Stewardship, God is more interested in our hearts.
Stewardship is the response of a disciple that is rooted in gratitude for all of God's blessings. It cultivates our prayer life, our life of service and how we share our finances. Thankfulness is a feeling, but true gratitude is an action. It's the action of giving freely and living out that gratitude daily by recognizing how blessed we are daily.
The goal of stewardship is to be a more vibrant witness out in the world. Stewardship should engage and energize all Catholics for service — starting with the family and extending to the wider world.
Sterwardship is NOT just one act of giving or even a group of giving actions, rather, as mentioned above - Stewardship Is A Way of Life
