  • Stewardship is our active commitment to use all our time, talent and treasure for the benefit of humankind in grateful acknowledgment of Christ's redeeming love.
  • Stewardship is caring for the needs of others.
  • Stewardship is offering one's self to God as He offered Himself to us.
  • Stewardship is learning how to be a responsible and a concerned caretaker of Christ's Church; it is learning how to enjoy Church life and be happy in Church work, for in Her dwells the fullness of the Spirit of God.
  • Stewardship is devotion and service to God and his Church as persons, as families, as deaneries, as diocese, as national Church, and as the Church universal.
