Understanding Stewardship

"Once one chooses to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, stewardship is not an option."

- Stewardship: A Disciple's Response
U.S. Catholic Bishops' Pastoral Letter on Stewardship

What is stewardship?

• Recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God.
• Taking time to be grateful for the gifts that God has given us.
• Realizing that God gives each of us all we need, plus enough to share.
• Turning to the Holy Spirit for guidance in sharing our gifts as God intended.

You'll find a wealth of information and suggestions for learning to live Catholic stewardship in our pamphlet, Understanding Stewardship, including five keys to stewardship, practical ways to live stewardship, and a prayer for stewardship.
