Stewardship a Way of Life: Building Vibrant, Engaged Communities
Saturday, February 26, 2011
9:00am–2:00pm
Pax Christi Catholic Community, Eden Prairie
Stewardship is the way to live our lives by answering the call received in our Baptism and realizing that all we have is gift from God. Stewards are asked to accept these gifts with grateful hearts, develop these gifts, and with a spirit
of generosity, share them with others.
Stewardship as a way of life is more than giving a few moments of spare time or some spare change to someone in need. It is truly a journey of discovery and conversion starting with the individual who asks, “Who am I? Why am I
here? Where am I going? What can I do to make a difference? How am I called by God?” As more and more individual stewards reach out to one another, the entire community of faith can be transformed, and together we can build vibrant and engaged parishes embracing Stewardship as a Way of Life.
The Archdiocesan Stewardship Conference is a forum which provides speakers, discussion, and resources that will educate and motivate attendees to start or continue on their own journey of Stewardship as a Way of Life. The conference is open to pastors, priests, religious, parish staff and leadership, and individuals in parishes who desire to:
•Learn more about Stewardship as a Way of Life
•Discover practices that will work well in their own parish environment
•Develop relationships with and find resources from conference sponsors
•Network with other area Catholics
