STEWARDSHIP

Being a good steward means being generous with your time, talent and treasure. Stewardship is an expression of love-God’s love for you and your love for God in return.

Christian Stewardship
A Christian steward serves God out of
Love and gratitude for these gifts, knowing that it’s
Not how much we have but what we Do with
What We Have that is important.

These lay people are sometimes referred to as Eucharistic Ministers. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion serve by bringing communion to parishioners who reside in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or in their own homes and are unable to attend Mass. They may also assist the priest in distributing the Eucharist at Mass.

If you or someone you know is unable to attend Mass, please contact one of our volunteers so that they can receive the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist.
