Stewardship | What is it?

How can we make a return for all the goodness God showers on us? How, in our century, can we be disciples to each other and to all the people of God?

How can we order our lives to relive the spiritual joy, freedom, love and confidence Jesus inspired in the disciples of his time?

As a community and as individuals, we can dedicate ourselves to:

V  Expressing a desire for discipleship and asking for the power to understand how we can change our lives to achieve it.

V  Assessing and gratefully acknowledging all the gifts God has given us.

V  Using them in the service of God and all of our brothers and sisters as best we can, and supporting others who desire to live out their discipleship.

V  Knowing that each of us has been invited by God to bear witness to Christ and to make his message known.

V  Evangelizing and witnessing: spreading the Gospel by living it.

V  Answering a call to deeper understanding of our relationship with God, with ourselves, within our families, and with others. Accepting all as brothers and sisters in the family of God and reaching out to them.

V  Following faithfully, sharing generously, living responsibly and possessing lightly.

V  Using our resources wisely in the awareness that they are held in trust for the whole community.

V  Deciding to become God-centered people seven days a week. Catholic Christians who are signs of Christian faith, hope, charity and welcome to those around us.

V  Living as a hospitable and welcoming community, conscious of the common good and our duty and responsibility to safeguard it.

V  Challenging what seems questionable while pursuing God's truth with charity, hope and joy.

 

What does Fr. Jim have to say?

"Stewardship is a dimension of parish life that touches and permeates every aspect of parish ministry. Its basic principle is giving back to God in appreciation for what he has given to us. It has less to do with what is needed and more to do with our need to give back.)

The future life of St. Regis will depend upon the ability and willingness of our people to do their share.” 

 

~ Father Jim Tringhese

 

 

Stewardship Prayer

O God, our loving creator and giver of all good gifts, bless our parish, strengthen our faith and grant us the spirit of Christian stewardship so that we may give generously of our time, talent and treasure to the spreading of your kingdom here in our church and throughout the world.

This we ask through Jesus Christ, Your son, our Lord, who lives, and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

 

Amen.
