Stewardship is the way to live our lives by answering the call received in our Baptism and realizing that all we have is gift from God. Stewards are asked to accept these gifts with grateful hearts, develop these gifts, and with a spirit of generosity, share them with others.

Stewardship is more than giving a few moments of spare time or some spare change to someone in need. It is truly a journey of discovery and conversion starting with the individual who asks, “Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? What can I do to make a difference? How am I called by God?” As more and more individual stewards reach out to one another, the entire community of faith can be transformed, and together we can build vibrant and engaged parishes embracing Stewardship as a Way of Life.

Stewardship Tools for Parishes

The Parish Stewardship Toolkit provides a guideline of helpful teaching principles of Christian stewardship and tools to grow stewardship as a way of life in our homes, our parishes and throughout the local Church.
