Consultation:  On-site consultation with a representative of the Parish Stewardship Office to help customize a parish plan for your stewardship effort including our newest tool - Automated Giving. Facilitated through Faith Direct Inc., this program provides numerous benefits to both parish and parishioners.

Formation: Each year parish leaders have an opportunity to attend and participate in new formational experiences. These opportunities range from presentations by nationally known speakers to workshops offering practical tools/tips, or spiritual reflection days and/or  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 gather every other month in rotating locations throughout Long Island 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), periodic Newsletter and Special Issues along with our Web Site keep you informed on current stewardship news, announcements and provide valuable resources and planning tools.

Renewal Materials: (Our materials have been recognized for excellence for three consecutive years by the International Catholic Stewardship Council.)  For each renewal (Time and Talent and Financial) parishioner materials focus on the spirituality and practicality of Stewardship in light of one of six 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.)
