Stewardship
A Pastoral Letter on Stewardship
Tenth Anniversary Edition
If you say you are a follower of Jesus, then you must be a steward of God's creation. That is the challenge presented in this pastoral statement from the U.S. bishops. Stewardship is an expression of discipleship that recognizes God as the source of all gifts. As mature disciples, we make a conscious decision to act as followers of Christ and to steward the gifts of God's creation well. For pastors, parish and diocesan finance, development, and stewardship committees, coordinators of adult faith formation, youth ministry, and religious education, and evangelization. Also includes the summary version To Be a Christian Steward and Stewardship and Development in Catholic Dioceses and Parishes: Resource Manual.

Stewardship and Young Adults
An Invitation to Help Change the World
Change the world by living a life of gratitude and responsibility—a life of Catholic stewardship. Specifically designed for young adults in parish, campus, and diocesan settings, this vibrant, eight-panel brochure engages young adults in a conversation about what Catholic stewardship is and how to live a stewardship lifestyle in today’s world.

Not for Adults Only
Stewardship is not a matter of giving a little more; rather, it is a way of life. This program takes us to Mesa, Ariz., where Rev. Dale Fushek, pastor of St. Timothy's Parish, discusses LifeTeen, a successful program that revitalizes youth through the eucharistic liturgy. It also introduces us to Jim Mullin, an authority on stewardship from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis; and Jamie Morris, Diana Oechsli, and Karen O'Connell, coauthors of a stewardship curriculum program for younger children developed on behalf of the Archdiocese of Louisville.

The Money-Back Guarantee
Putting Scripture into action: This program presents stewardship as an ongoing process of a pilgrim people on their journey to God. Volunteers from St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Wichita, Kansas, discuss how they have shared their time, talents, and treasures within the parish. Also, Rev. Dan Borlik and parishioners from Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dallas, Tex., discuss how their annual "ministry mart" and "manual of needs" have fostered a strong sense of stewardship throughout their community. A paradox of stewardship is that those who give will themselves be provided for; Fr. Borlik refers to this as his "money-back guarantee."
