What does it take to practice good stewardship principles: acknowledging everything we have as a gift from a generous God, being sincerely thankful and then sharing our time, talents with others? Do we need a severe drought to make us conserve water and use it more thoughtfully? Does it take extremely high gas prices to make us combine car trips and to be satisfied with smaller, more fuel efficient cars? Does it take a parish in financial difficulties to make us be more generous with our contributions?
Stewardship is not solely about fundraising but fundraising is a part of Stewardship. As we use resources more responsibly, the consequential savings gives us more money to be generous with to those around us who need our financial help. Sharing our time and talents with our parish and community has a financial impact because if we don’t help, our parish and community will have to pay to have this done.
The Stewardship Committee of Holy Cross seeks to raise the awareness of good stewardship principles by being actively involved with the Outreach Committee, Parish Life Committee, Holy Cross Men’s society and with Parish Administration. Annual Ministry Fairs are planned and held usually in the fall. Goals are conducting a church-wide census, revising the parish registration form, and assisting with building maintenance and outreach projects such as the Casserole Committee and Habitat Housing and Faith Formation. We could use inspiration and good ideas to help to implement these plans. Can you help us? Please contact us by email at Stewardship@ holycrossdurham.org
