St. Gregory Catholic Church

"Stewardship is a personal challenge to each of us. To be a disciple means that I have the discipline of stewardship by putting the call to follow Christ first in my life. If I accept that all that I have is a gift from God, it becomes easier to give back to God because ultimately it is all God anyway. The process begins with me and how I decide to live my personal faith."

What is Stewardship?

Stewardship is an expression of our gratitude for all of God's gifts. Stewardship embodies our commitment to follow the Lord as active participants in our Catholic community. To become stewards in the Church, each of us should strive to share three valuable gifts with others. These gifts are time, talent and treasure.

Why is Stewardship important?

Stewardship  is a daily expression of our discipleship. By giving of ourselves, we strengthen our faith, our parish, and our community. With stewardship as a way of life, striving to emulate Jesus, we "love our neighbor" and grow closer to the Lord. We can bring a new "balance" in our lives, lives of peace and joy centered in God. 

How do I get started in our Stewardship program?

Giving of our time, talent and treasure is not always easy. Stewardship may require us to establish new priorities for our daily lives. Embracing stewardship can be a gradual growth process. Just as an individual who wants to run a marathon must train for months or years to achieve his goal, successful stewardship begins with a personal commitment to improve our spiritual lives.

How can I contribute my time and talent?

There are dozens of opportunities within our Catholic community to give of your time and talent. From serving on the Parish Council to coaching youth athletic teams, you can find a place to give of yourself. Identify an outlet that allows you to express your enthusiasm. Find an area where you can have fun while serving those around you. 

Stewardship Intention Sheet

That leaves treasure, how much do I need to contribute to be a successful steward?

As a goal, the Parish asks we each give five percent of our annual income to the church and devote five percent to special appeals and other charities. Admittedly, achieving this goal will require many of us to restructure our household budgets. Giving ten percent of your income is a goal. Don't let the goal become an obstacle to getting started. Establish a percentage of your income that you can afford today and work towards continual improvement. 

"As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as stewards of God's varied grace."  (1Pt 4:10)
