Whenever we
devote ourselves to daily prayer, to service, and to financial
generosity, we have practiced stewardship. In essence, whenever we use
our personal gifts to serve the Lord, we are being Christian stewards.
At Saint Elizabeth, stewardship is not a “program” or a fundraising
effort. It is a commitment to a way of life—the lifestyle of Christian
Discipleship. Practically speaking, it means making time for personal
prayer. It means choosing to serve in parish ministries. It means
planning a generous, consistent gift to the weekly offertory. Over time,
as each person embraces his or her personal commitments, our parish can
become a powerful witness to the abundant life that Jesus has promised.
Every Parishioner is invited to make commitments of their time, talent,
and treasure. All three areas are equally important.
