May God Bless You
For Your Generosity of Stewardship

Money and all of the things we possess are gifts from God that we are asked to care for and generously and sacrificially share for our family needs and for the good of others. God has blessed each of us with material possessions and these gifts are intended to be shared. Why? Because each of us has the responsibility and an inherit desire to help others in need and to support the ministry of the church, as well as other worthwhile charitable organizations. If we don’t, we become unfulfilled and unhappy. All of us have different levels of material resources, but we are all called to return in thanksgiving a proportionate gift, each in a measure we have been blessed with.

What's the difference between Stewardship and Tithing?

In terms of financial resources, Stewardship invites parishioners to give a percentage of their income that represents their sacrifice to the parish and other charities.  Tithing is the biblical notion of giving one-tenth (10%) of our money.  Good stewards reflect upon their current level of giving, and consider "Taking-a-Step" to a higher level of giving, if possible.  The ultimate goal may be to achieve the biblical tithe, or it could be less or more, depending upon what a person/family has concluded through prayer and reflection.  The important thing is to take the first step of faith by putting God first.
