Stewardship
Our grateful response to God’s goodness
What is Stewardship?
At St. Francis Xavier Parish, stewardship is not a program. It’s a way of life.
We are a stewardship parish: disciples of Christ who proclaim the Gospel, celebrate the Eucharist, serve others, and journey together for the greater glory of God. Everything we have is a gift from the Lord, and stewardship is how we say thank you with open hands and generous hearts.
A Way of Living
Stewardship means we live with joy and gratitude for the blessings we’ve received and look for ways to share them with others. We no longer see our time, talents, and resources as “ours to keep,” but “ours to share.” We pray. We serve. We give.
This might look like:
Teaching the faith or witnessing the Gospel
Volunteering at PSR or singing in the choir
Spending wisely or recycling at home
Supporting a neighbor or visiting the elderly
Giving to the offertory or working for justice
Big or small, seen or unseen—every gift offered in love is part of God’s work in the world.
Stewardship in Action
Our Stewardship Committee encourages this way of life by helping parishioners reflect, discern, and act. Each year, our Stewardship Renewal Campaign invites you to consider your offering of:
Time (prayer and presence)
Talent (service and participation)
Treasure (financial giving)
You can join or change ministries at any time, but the renewal campaign is a beautiful opportunity to listen anew for how God is calling you to give.
What Should I Do Now?
Start with prayer. Attend Mass and ask God how He wants you to respond.
Review the ministries. Browse our Ministries and Volunteer Opportunities.
Fill out a commitment card. Available during the renewal campaign or anytime in the parish office.
Sign up for automated giving. Make your giving consistent and secure through EFT sign-up.
Not Sure Where to Start?
If you’re not sure where to begin, just ask. We’ll help you discern where your gifts are needed most.
