STA Parish Stewardship Report
“Using my unique gifts, talents, and resources is one of the
few things in life that gives me real joy. Stewardship aligns
with my vocation, that which God has uniquely prepared and
equipped me to do. It’s a spiritual discipline, and sometimes
it’s difficult, but often it becomes easier the more I practice it.
My practice of stewardship means being generous with my
time, talent and resources in service to others and by serving
others, serving Christ. We tend to underestimate the power
of giving our small little gifts. Instead, imagine what might
happen if, like the little boy in John’s gospel, we bring our five
barley loaves and two fish to Jesus.”-Tim Mooney

STA Stewardship Mission Statement
-
Team Definition of Stewardship:
“A steward acknowledges their many God-given gifts and in gratitude, responds to the Gospel invitation to nurture and share those gifts with others.”
Purpose
- Relying on the U.S. Bishops' statement: Stewardship, a Disciple's Response, the team will foster and promote the Church's understanding of stewardship as a way of life, which is not optional but rather central to our baptismal calling.
Membership
- Volunteer membership with an expectation of a minimum 2-year commitment to the team.
- The team should have the following traits:
- Stewardship is already a way of life at some level.
- Personal stewardship is exercised and is motivated by gratitude for God's gifts.
- Have the ability to make the goals of stewardship viable for parishioners.
- Belief in accountability exercised by reporting to parishioners on all aspects of the parish stewardship efforts.
- ISU students are encouraged to participate.
- At a meeting prior to July 1 each year there is a discernment of team Chair and an ex-officio voting member to the Pastoral Council.
Functions
- To foster a sense of belonging to and "ownership" of our parish by all parishioners.
- To provide education about stewardship to parish leadership/committees and to all parishioners.
- Prepare and distribute an annual "stewardship report" to all parishioners.
- To promote the stewardship of treasure of all parishioners by:
- Coordinating an annual Sacrificial Giving Appeal, and
- promoting an electronic giving option.
- To promote the stewardship of time and talent of all parishioners through parish ministry and community building.
- Provide an annual community-building stewardship event.
- To evaluate the parish stewardship efforts on a regular basis to ensure viability.
