Our Office Provides:

Consultation:  On-site consultation with a representative of the Parish Stewardship Office to help customize a parish plan for your stewardship effort or facilitate any number of workshop topics for staff, committees and/or ministry groups.

Formation: Each year parish leaders have an opportunity to attend and participate in new formational experiences. These opportunities range from presentations by national known speakers to workshops offering practical tools and tips to the 35-hour PFI Leadership Course to spiritual reflection days and mini-retreats. We can even provide something specific to your parish.

Resources: Current stewardship articles, books and other resources are provided throughout the year to aid your parish in building its own stewardship library.

Leadership Support Gatherings: Parish stewardship leaders from around the area gather every other month in several locations around the diocese to pray, share ideas and support each other. This is also a time when news and current resources are distributed.

Communications: Our Bi-Weekly Faxes (weekly during renewal periods), Quarterly Newsletter and Special Issues along with our Web Site keep you informed on current stewardship news, announcements and provide valuable resources and planning tools.

Computer Training and Support: Computer support for tasks that directly relate to the successful implementation of the parish’s Stewardship effort.

Renewal Materials: For each renewal (Time and Talent and Financial) parishioner materials focus on the spirituality and practicality of Stewardship in light of one of five stewardship themes. Materials are available in both camera ready and customizable formats for you to print or have printed and distribute to all in your parish. (Most materials are also available in Spanish.)
