Stewardship of Parish Talent Opportunities
Our parish community is a gift from God. The Lord gathers us as one family to worship Him, care for one another, and continue His work in the world. Within this community, each person has been blessed with unique gifts, talents, experiences, and skills. Some are gifted teachers, leaders, or organizers. Others enjoy welcoming people, working with children, visiting those in need, singing, preparing meals, or serving behind the scenes. Others have practical skills in cleaning, gardening, construction, maintenance, technology, administration, and many other areas. Whatever our gifts may be, God invites us to use them for the good of others and the building up of our parish.
Stewardship is about much more than financial giving. It is our grateful response to God for all that we have received. It includes the stewardship of our time, talent, and treasure. When we share our talents, we strengthen our parish community while participating more deeply in its mission.
We invite every parishioner to complete our Stewardship of Talent Opportunities Form linked below. The form will help the parish learn more about your interests, talents, professional skills, and the ministries or groups in which you might like to serve. Completing the form does not mean that you are committing yourself to every opportunity you select. Rather, it allows us to connect you with ministries where your gifts and interests can make a meaningful difference.

Perhaps you have served for many years and are ready to try something new. Perhaps you recently joined the parish and are looking for a way to become involved. Or perhaps you have a talent that you never realized could benefit our community. There is a place for you.
Healthy ministry grows when responsibility is shared. When many people offer their gifts, no small group is left carrying all the work, and our parish becomes a community where everyone has an opportunity to participate, serve, build friendships, and experience the joy of belonging.
Please prayerfully consider your gifts and complete the Stewardship of Talent Opportunities Form. The form will be passed out at the Masses this weekend, posted on this page, and available in the office. You can return it to the office or in the collection next weekend. No gift is too small. In the spirit of St. Teresa of Calcutta, we each possess different gifts. Together, we can do something beautiful for God.
