Stewardship Committee

Their mission is … to help the Sacred Heart Parish Family draw closer to God and to each other through a deepening practice of joyful stewardship by: helping all of us discover our gifts of time, talent and treasure; and increasing everyone’s gratitude to God, the giver of these gifts; encouraging the giving of a portion of these gifts to God’s glory.

Catholic Principles of Stewardship:
Everything we have and are comes form God. God asks us to show gratitude by stewardship — the grateful giving back of our time, talent and treasure. Our model is Jesus, the steward of all creation, who expressed his love and found his joy by emptying himself. In a culture that stresses consuming, pleasure-seeking and individualism … stewardship will only happen through conscious and prayerful choice. Grasping, exploitation and self-centeredness bring anxiety. Stewardship brings joy, since it is a way of companionship with Jesus and others.
