"Who is a Christian Steward? One who receives God's gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible manner, shares them in justice and love with others, and returns them with increase to the Lord." (From the U.S. Bishops' Pastoral Letter on Stewardship)

"Time, Talent, & Treasure" is a great summary of the ways we can practice stewardship in our faith community. Time speaks of the time we commit to growing in discipleship, and the time we give directly back to God through prayer and adoration. Talent speaks of using our natural skills and abilities to further the work of the Church. Treasure speaks of giving generously from our wealth or poverty alike. Stewardship doesn't stop here but expands to encompass all that God has given us. Living as faithful stewards expresses our thanks to God for the blessings He has bestowed on us.

Stewardship of Treasure - 2026 Pledge

Living a stewardship lifestyle, being grateful and generous with our gifts serves a twofold purpose: One, it helps build God’s kingdom here on earth. Two, it helps us strengthen each other’s relationship with Christ. We ask that all our parishioners partake of that joy and submit their 2026 Stewardship of Treasure Pledge via our Pushpay online giving platform. Your pledge can also be submitted by filling out one of the purple commitment cards (available in the church pews) and returning it to the collection basket or the parish office.

As you make your pledge, please prayerfully consider one of the thoughts below:

  • If you are not currently giving would you consider making a weekly donation of one hour's pay or at least $5.00 a week?
  • I pledged last year and will increase that amount by 5% or 10%.
  • I will pledge a percent of my annual income:
  • 1% (if my income is less than $50,000)
  • 2% (if my income is $50,000 to $100,000)
  • 3% (if my income is $100,000 to $200,000) 

Stewardship of Treasure - 2026 Giving

Once you've made your pledge, you can make a one-time or recuring online contribution towards your stewardship commitment through the 2026 Stewardship of Treasure Giving page.

Stewardship of Time & Talent

Each moment of each day is a new opportunity to turn towards God, to recognize His presence in our lives, and to commit to accepting His will for us. We are called to set aside time each day to spend in prayer, relating our hearts to our Lord. God also gives us talents to use in good works which advance the mission of the Church. The groups and ministries of our parish community call us in a variety of ways to exercise our gifts of Time and Talents and to enter into greater participation in the life of the Church. We invite you to visit our Community page and consider where you are called to use your Time and Talents.
