We are excited to announce the kick-off to the Season of Stewardship! Stewardship is our willingness to acknowledge the blessings we have in our lives and to reflect how we can continue to steward our time, talents, and treasure to act as Jesus' hands and feet in the world. Curious where to begin? Consider your commitment to Sunday Mass, time in prayer, or praying with your family. Consider your talents and how you are using them in our parish. Consider your giving and what bad habits or materialistic goods could we remove from our budgets that distant us from a better relationship with God. I encourage you to prayerfully discern your commitment to our parish family and we are appreciative of your willingness to say, “Yes!” Remember, stewardship is not a program and it is not a fundraiser, rather it is an invitation to participate actively in parish life as disciples. As we discern our intentions for next year, please keep us all in your prayers and the stewardship effort at [PARISH NAME].

Disciples are stewards by utilizing the stewardship practices of prayer, service and giving. Over the next few weeks, we invite you to discern with us on how we can answer the call to discipleship and become a vibrant stewardship parish! Consider how you may want to pray more, attend Sunday Mass regularly (online or in-person), make time for service, or make an increase in your charity to our parish! We need you and appreciate you! #CatholicStewardship [WEBSITE LINK]

This week during the Season of Stewardship we receive an invitation from Bishop Paprocki to discern how we can respond as grateful and generous stewards. Stewardship is not about giving money, while that is a piece it is not the whole. Stewardship is about spending time with God, committing to attending Mass regularly (at home or in-person), daily prayer, time in service of the church in ministry, beginning a new ministry if the need arises, serving in leadership, bringing witness to the Gospel through your service, and giving your first fruits not your lasts. Giving generously in spirit, gifts, and service, requires us to re-orient our lives to holiness. We are here to help you in this journey and hope you consider participating. Next week you will receive your Parish Stewardship Commitment Card, we hope you fill this out and say, “Yes!” If you are able, please respond to Bishop Paprocki’s letter by considering a gift to the Diocesan mission and ministries. It is part of their ministry of parish support that we are provided the resources for this stewardship discernment process. We are grateful for you and appreciate your prayerful consideration of stewardship!

What is your favorite memory of our Parish? Was it a sacrament for a loved one? Was it at a volunteer project, when you met a friend for life? Was it listening to a beautiful song during Sunday Mass that brought you closer to Jesus or maybe it was a homily that spoke to your heart. This week listen to Father’s reflection on stewardship and how we may answer the call to respond gratefully and generously! #CatholicStewardship [WEBSITE LINK]

The time to respond to God calling on you is here! This week you will have the opportunity to respond to how God is calling you to greater participation, rather it be through prayer, liturgy, service, talents, formation or financial giving. We need each of us to help bring our parish into a new vision for stewardship as a way of life. This Season of Stewardship calls us to pray, discern, change, and grow. We hope you will respond this week and send the Parish Offices your commitment. Let us challenge each other, grow together, and remember, “But as it is, there are many parts, yet one body” (1 Corinthians 12:20).
