It is a way of looking at our life itself, and our many gifts, through a different lens. It’s about seeing everything we have – our time on earth, our interests, intellect and talents. And, yes, our financial resources – all as gifts from God. Placed in our trust, as tools to use for our own salvation, and the salvation of all. Send your questions to: Stewardship@diopitt.org
Do not be deceived . . . all good giving and every perfect gift is from above. – James 1:16-17
Stewardship is too often confused with money.
“To be a good steward” does not mean simply “to give more money.”
What it does mean, however, is to recognize that all of our gifts – intellect, skills, talent , experience and financial resources – all come from God and that we are each called to be accountable, to return those gifts with interest.
But it is about generously sharing our gifts with God through others. Through our parish and our nearest parish school or CCD. Through our Diocese, the local Church beyond the walls of our parish. And through the many and varied ministries of the Church universal.
