A PARISH THAT GIVES WITHOUT COUNTING THE COST

The Spirituality of Stewardship: “How do I give?”

The message of good stewardship is to change our attitudes about what gift-giving really means. Bringing to the altar a gift, electronically or on paper, is a choice that you make that should represent a change in your life. There is much said about preserving the giving moment — because it is holy and requires prayer — whether you give weekly, monthly, or annually from a distribution of stock or your IRA account or have some other plan, like leaving a legacy gift to the parish. The signing up for online donating at allhallows.com, transferring from your savings, or using envelopes is just the cultivation of the need to give in all of us and the fulfillment of the spirituality.
