“How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he had done for me?”
~Psalm 116:12
What is Stewardship? Stewardship is usually referred to as Time, Talent, and Treasure.
It is much more – it is a way of life. Stewardship consists of receiving God’s gifts gratefully and sharing abundantly God’s gifts. To learn more about the stewardship way of life, please contact the Pastor, Rev Robert J. Kennedy or the Business Manager, Margy Handel.
Financial ways you can support the Parish: (Treasure)
To register and to request envelopes, please contact our parish secretary, Diane Pawlik. To donate your car to the parish, make a financial gift for a special purpose, (such as handicapped accessibility, Capital Improvement fund, Liturgy fund, Music fund, or the Supper Program), make a donation to honor a person on a special occasion, designate Blessed Sacrament in your will, or to raise a general financial questions, please call our Business Manager, Margy Handel at (585) 271-7240.
The idea and the practice of stewardship have the power to change our self-understanding and our understanding of the meaning of our lives. Steward-disciples recognize God as the origin of life, the giver of freedom, the source of all they have and are. They see themselves as caretakers of
God’s gifts."
~ National Conference of Catholic Bishops Pastoral Letter on Stewardship.
