“Dearest lord, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost.”

—Ignatius of Loyola, Jesuit founder

Stewardship

Caring for Our Spiritual Home

Just as we are called upon to exercise good stewardship in tending to our homes—ensuring the safety, security, stability, and strength of our families—so are we as members of a faith community called upon to be wise stewards of our church, which serves as our spiritual home, constitutes our family of shared belief and practice, and acts as the foundation upon which our living faith is built. 

Balancing the budget isn’t easy for any of us, these days.  Effectively managing the ever rising costs of housing, fuel, electricity, healthcare, education, etc., requires us all to focus daily on setting wise priorities and exercising the economic discipline that will provide the greatest long-term benefits to our homes, our families, and our communities.  The church, likewise, feels the impact of this increased cost of living.  Now, more than ever, we rely upon your generosity. Your dedication to the church, and your contributions of time, effort, skill, and money make it possible for St. Mary’s to continue to meet its financial obligations, and to grow and thrive as a faith community.
