Stewardship is the grateful response of a Christian disciple who recognizes and receives God’s gifts and shares these gifts and love of God and neighbor. Stewardship is a way of life.

The goal of the Stewardship Council is to form committed disciples of Christ through the Four Pillars of Stewardship: Hospitality, Prayer, Formation and Service.

Our St. Paul Stewardship Council acts in both an advisory and active role to help our pastor guide the development of stewardship in our Parish. Duties of the members include educating themselves in our Catholic Faith; living as good Christian stewards; becoming a credible witness to our Parish community. 

We’ve all heard about Time, Talent and Treasure; the “Three Ts”.  These are the gifts that we can all share with our Parish community and give back to God in our individual lives.

“The Four Pillars of Stewardship” create the foundation of solid parish stewardship and community.

1. Hospitality: Christian kindness.  Simple kindness is one of the first ways we can be Christ-like towards others.  We want St. Paul Parish to be a place where people feel welcomed, loved and cared about.
2. Prayer: Heart-to-Heart with God.  When we spend time in prayer we show God that he is more important than anything else we can be doing at that moment. A healthy prayer life should include communal prayer such as Mass, as well as personal prayer and family prayer.
3. Formation: Continuous Conversion. Pope John Paul II always emphasized ongoing conversion. From childhood through adulthood, our whole life must be a process of drawing closer to God.  He never stops calling us forward to learn more and to examine ourselves more deeply. 
4. Service: Love in Action.  Helping others is how our parish community follows Christ’s command “to love your neighbor as yourself.” The Stewardship Council works to provide ample service opportunities that allow parishioners both to serve each other within the faith family and to reach out to the broader community.

Thank you to our members of the Stewardship Council who generously give of their Time and Talent!
