Stewardship Commission
Mission and Purpose
Stewardship is a call to discipleship, a call to conversion of every baptized person. Stewardship is rooted in an understanding of who we are in relationship with god. All that we are and all that we have by way of time on this earth, and talent and material resources are gifts from God. We are only stewards of these gifts. The mission and purpose of the Stewardship Commission is to create a Stewardship Parish through ongoing formation that will lead the people to a true conversion- to discipleship. The Commission collaborates with the other Commissions whenever possible in implementing programs.
