Stewardship: A Holy Way of Life 
 
*
Stewardship is about relationship with God, family, and faith community.
*
We journey, as the Israelites journeyed, as a faith community. Their desert was physical; ours is spiritual.
*
Stewardship begins and ends in prayer.
*
Stewardship pertains to time, talent, treasure, trust, truth, and teachings.
*
We must always return to God our first fruits…from the very core of our being.
*
Stewardship is a thread that must consistently run though our lives, our families and our all our parish ministries.
*
The more we hold back in our relationship with God, the less we have.
*
As much a people complain that stewardship puts to much emphasis on money, the truth is that we are not truly converted until our wallets are converted.
*
People who are prayerful, active in their faith, and generous givers, are happy.
*
Stewardship plus evangelizations equals discipleship. That’s our baptismal vow.
