Each October, parishes across our diocese participate in the annual Catholic Stewardship Renewal (CSR). As disciples of Christ, we are asked to prayerfully discern and intentionally commit to living out the Christian Stewardship way of life through prayer, participation, and sacrificial giving.

• Why every year? Because CSR is not just administrative. It is also deeply spiritual. It is our yearly opportunity to prayerfully review, redirect, reaffirm, and recommit.
• Reviewing & Redirecting allows us to ask ourselves: How am I doing at striving to live as an active steward in my parish? How is my Mass attendance? How do I participate in the communal life of the parish? How well does my level of giving support the ministries of the parish and needs of our community?
• Reaffirming & Recommitting encourages us to concretely proclaim “Yes! I am a part of this parish and I am supportive of its mission and the needs of parishioners and our community!
