Stewardship Council

The Stewardship Council sets goals for the parish and then facilitates and sponsors parish events that foster and encourage an understanding of stewardship as a way of life … that all we have is a gift from God and that we are called to thank Him by sharing those gifts with others.  The selection of members for this Council is determined by the Pastor.

This Council will identify, plan, and implement activities and programs that offer windows of opportunity for involvement in parish life, strengthen our faith community, and promote a deeper understanding of stewardship.
