Stewardship Way Of Life For St. John’s,

St. Mary’s-G, St. Mary’s-M

Plan is based on spirituality of Stewardship, Trust in God!

We take care of one another in the parishes/the community/and beyond.

Parishioners who choose this way of life likely will continue throughout their lifetime wherever they go.

Those committed to the Stewardship Way of Life are assumed to automatically increase their giving as God blesses them.

Opportunities for ongoing formation in the Stewardship Way of Life are always in process children, youth, and adults.

Supporting our church programs through proportionate giving is the responsibility of the entire Tri-parish community.

This approach makes it possible for all of our parishioners, rich or poor, to take part in all of our parish-sponsored programs.

Policy of Treasure

  1. All stewardship families are presumed to understand that their pledged weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or yearly amount comes from their first fruits and will be placed in the collection on Sundays or as arranged.
  2. As there is no need to send late notices or reminders, no letters will be sent regarding pledges in arrears.
  3. If a pledge needs to be lowered (or raised), for whatever reason, the family will notify the parish.
  4. Quarterly Financial Reports will be mailed to any parishioner at their request.
