All that I possess – my character, my health, my wealth, my time – come from God and belong to God. This is the fundamental meaning of stewardship: Everything belongs to God.
“A Christian steward is one who receives God’s gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others and returns them with increase to the Lord.” - The U.S. Catholic bishops said in Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response:
At St. Clare Church, stewardship is one way we come together to share our gifts of Time, Talent, and Treasure. As you read through the following stewardship ministry descriptions, we invite you to consider deepening your engagement in the life of our parish community by contributing in a way that draws your interest and suits your talents. Or, if you think of another stewardship activity you would like to help establish, we would love to hear from you.
We encourage you to contact our Parish Office and indicate your interest in becoming part of one or more these ministries For those ministries which require some training, sessions are scheduled on an as-needed basis. Many ministries meet monthly. Please consult the Church Bulletin for dates and times.
