Responsibilities of the Stewardship Commission include the following.
- Encouraging the incorporation of appropriate stewardship emphases in the liturgy and prayer
- Encouraging the incorporation of education about stewardship in all areas of faith formation, including religious education for all ages
- Encouraging evangelization efforts as well as hospitality and welcoming by the parish
- Advocating for outreach efforts by the parish
- Encouraging the parish to live out its stewardship life through effective participation in the Annual Catholic Appeal and special collections
- Promoting and educating about Planned Giving as another aspect of our stewardship
