Stewardship is a Christian way of life in which we share our time, talent and treasure-the gifts we have been given by our God. It is through our worship together and our prayers as a parish family that we are given the strength and direction we need to become better stewards of God's gifts.
Our weekend Masses involve many who take on the Liturgical roles necessary during our celebrations. Parishioners are welcome to be part of these ministries. Training is provided as needed. Parishioners may volunteer any time by calling the parish office.
