STEWARDSHIP COMMITMENT "Freely You Have Received, Freely Give" Matt 10:8 God calls us to generously return gifts that he gives us to help build His Kingdom and to help each other. We call this STEWARDSHIP. Our parish is committed to the stewardship of time, talent and treasure. This kind of sharing makes it possible for us to realize our mission as a parish. We cannot really call ourselves members of a Christian community, unless we make a sacrifice for its support. HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE? No one can tell you how much to give, we only suggest, as do so many passages in the Scriptures. Our giving should be: Planned: As we plan for all of our financial responsibilities. Proportionate: In proportion to what we have received. Sacrificial: Giving out of our substance: Not necessarily till it hurts, rather till it feels good. Our giving should include: -- Our Parish. The Sacrificial Giving Guide suggests that we give ½ of our tithe to our parish -- Our Archdiocese. A ¼th of your tithe could be given to the Archdiocesan Appeal ACA (Annual Catholic Appeal) -- Other Charities. Another ¼th of your tithe could be assigned to other charities in our community and the world. SUGGESTED SACRIFICIAL GIVING GUIDE
