Course Introduction

Stewardship is so much more than giving time, talent, and treasure.

It’s a way of life. But what does that really mean for a busy family in your parish? A retired widow? A young person discovering his or her vocation? Often, parishes have “Stewardship Sunday” where a basket is passed around and the usual crowd drops in their contribution. An angry letter typically follows accusing Father of “only asking for money.” Does this sound familiar?

Let Tracy guide your parish team to clarity, inspiration, and success around this topic.
