Stewardship involves intentional, planned and proportionate giving of our time, talent and treasure. In our Diocese these types of giving are encouraged in the following ways:

• Intentional Giving - Every parishioner is encouraged to make a deliberate decision to live out the Christian life in a certain way, thanking God for all His blessings by returning to Him a portion of time, talent and treasure. An easy way to do this is our Electronic Funds Transfer program, when you designate how much want want to contribute for the month, and that amount is automatically deducted from your checking account. Please click here for an EFT form.
  
  
• Planned Giving - At a designated time each year, each Catholic person and family in the Diocese should have the opportunity to reflect on and then commit to a definite use of time, talent and treasure as part of a stewardship education process.
  
  
• Proportionate Giving - Every parishioner is encouraged to make a decision to give a certain percentage of time and treasure to the parish and other charities.
