Stewardship: Making the Best Use of Our Resources

Stewardship is a way of looking at the world through the eyes of a disciple of Jesus Christ. At its heart is the recognition that all we have and are is gift from God. 
God is the giver of all that we have and are.
Stewardship is a way of living our discipleship in response to all that God has given us.
Everything we have, everything we are, all that has happened to us, all that will happen to us is a gift from God.
We are stewards of the gift of creation and all that life brings: our time, our treasure, our talents and one another.
Therefore we have a duty to ensure that we make the best use of all we have, and that we do this in a way which respects the dignity of every person and promotes the common good.

Gratitude for these gifts is expressed in prayer, worship, offering, and the action of sharing these gifts out of love for God and for one another.
 
Stewardship is what we do after we say ‘We believe!’
 
In short, stewardship is both a spirituality and a way of life.

Our parish has begun a period of prayer and reflection to allow the Spirit to guide our community.
