Stewardship

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.

A Stewardship Prayer for September

by Monsignor Anthony J. Marcaccio

Loving and Gracious God,
We ask You to open our hearts
to your Son’s life and ministry
and to answer the call
to be his disciples.
May our response
be rooted
in the Gospel;
may we be
ever mindful
of the needs
of our communities;
and may our stewardship flow from a
profound sense of gratitude
for Your many blessings.
By the gift of the Holy Spirit,
empower and inspire us
to respond in a way
that brings hope to others
and reveals the love
that comes to us
through Jesus Christ.
We ask this in His Name,
who is Lord
forever and ever.
Amen
By Monsignor Anthony J. Marcaccio,
(May 5, 1963 – July 19, 2024)
Beloved pastor of St. Pius X Catholic Church, Greensboro, North Carolina and friend of the International Catholic Stewardship Council
