Prayer- Spending Time with God   Stewardship involves spending time with God. Recognizing that every day is a gift from God, we strive to spend some of each day with God, through prayer, Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, scripture reading, quiet, meditation and other spiritual activities. During this time we ask God how He wants us to use the gifts He has given to us.

Suggestions for your personal growth in faith:

Participation - Sharing Talent   Stewardship involves sharing talent. Recognizing that God has given each individual unique skills and talents so that together we can do the work of Our Lord, we strive to share our own talents and to encourage and welcome others to also use their talents to participate in the mission and ministry of the Church.  Suggestions for sharing your talent:

Generosity -  Giving Treasure   Stewardship involves giving treasure. Giving time and talent does not excuse us from giving treasure. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus challenged us to give as it has been given to us. Aware of our tremendous financial blessings, we strive to give generously to support the building up of God's kingdom.  We recognize tithing as an important sacrificial goal. Although this level of giving may not be immediately possible, we are aware of what percentage we are giving back.  We regularly strive to increase our  generosity, making regular, incremental increases in giving.

• Participating in Automated Giving of parish offertory donations
• Helping local residents in crisis via our Financial Assistance Ministry
• Supporting the Bishop's Annual Appeal
