2027 - Stewardship of Treasure Campaign

Stewardship of Treasure reflects where our hearts truly rest. Jesus tells us plainly, “For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be” (Luke 12:34). The Catechism reminds us that the ownership of goods makes us “stewards of Providence, with the task of making them fruitful and communicating their benefits to others” (CCC 2404). Generous and sacrificial giving is not about the amount—it is about trust. Pope Benedict XVI affirmed this truth when he wrote, “Everyone benefits from the sacrificial gift one makes of his time, talent, and treasure.”

So what does a disciple do?

A disciple learns to trust and have faith in God, recognizing that He has already provided all that we truly need. Stewardship begins with gratitude and grows through trust. We are invited to prayerfully discern what we are able to give, knowing that each of us is at a different place in life. For some, this season may allow only the gift of prayer; for others, it may include a more generous offering of financial support.

The Church has long taught that a 10% tithe is a reasonable starting point, but stewardship invites us to go deeper—to ask not simply “What is expected?” but “What more is God calling me to give to help share the Gospel?” Whatever you decide to offer, know that it is received with gratitude. We trust, as you do, that God will never ask more of us than He has already prepared us to give.
