The Bishops of the United States offer this definition – “A Christian steward is defined as one who receives God’s gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them generously in justice and love with others, and returns them with increase to the Lord.”  St. Catharine is a parish full of good Christian stewards.  Browse our different ministries in the links below.

Prayer for Stewardship

Lord God, I believe that You will always provide me with what I need, if I only ask.

I know that whatever You give me is to be shared with others in my family, my parish, my community, my country, and the world.

Help me to use my gift wisely, always aware that You are the source of all blessings.

Grant that I may share my time, talent and treasure in ways that will bring glory to Your Son,  Jesus, who reigns with you now and forever.
