Being good stewards means that we use our gifts and resources to achieve the goals
of our faith in our day today lives. Our abilities, time and treasures all can be used to
bring the Gospel message to others; a message of faith, hope and love. Using the
Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy as a guide we can look for ways to practice
what we preach. To test our stewardship, we can ask a few questions. How well do
I use my gifts? How can I help advance the Gospel? How well do I share God’s
goodness to me with others? Being a good steward helps me keep God first in my
life.

Stewardship of Treasure
It has been a few weeks since the completion of our Offertory Increase Appeal has
concluded. The report for Dec. 1st indicated that 331 parishioners responded that they
would commit themselves to increasing their weekly offering for a total of $2,098.00/week
(an average of $6.34/parishioner). Also, 33 parishioners made outright gifts totaling $4340.00.
Thanks goes to everyone who responded to the appeal and it is hoped that everyone will be true
to their commitment of a new level of giving and to making sacrifice for the life of the parish.
Stewardship PrayerMy church is composed of people like me.
I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
It will be holy, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes,
if I am a generous giver.
It will bring others into its worship,
if I invite and bring them.
It will be a church of loyalty and love, of
fearlessness and faith, of compassion,charity,
and mercy, if I who make it what it is, am filled
with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate
myself to the task of being all the things that I
want my church to be.Adopted from the stewardship prayer of the Diocese of San Diago
