Catholic Stewardship End of Fiscal Year



As we approach the end of the fiscal year, think about doing a big 'Thank You' to your parishioners for their support of the parish. We suggest a bulletin announcement and perhaps a pulpit announcement.

You could include a recap of how the parish is finishing the fiscal year.  Maybe you could frame it in the context of Stewardship and how the parish has been a good Steward of the parish budget which includes the donation commitments of your parishioners... being sure to thank them for their generosity.  Please also thank them for volunteering in ministry and praying for the parish.  In so doing, you are reinforcing that Stewardship is not just about money, but Time and Talent as well.

This is also a good time to send out those 2nd quarterly letters of the year. We have been told by many that they appreciate the quarterly letters because it helps them stay on top of their commitment.  It also shows that you are practicing good Stewardship by being fiscally responsible.


The Office of Parish Stewardship wants to extend our thanks to all you parish staff members for the terrific job you do in promoting Stewardship throughout the Archdiocese of Seattle!
