First Steps In Considering Stewardship
1. What are the objectives of the stewardship process within your parish?
What should be accomplished because of stewardship? Who will be reached within the parish by stewardship? What does the parish community need to know in order to obtain their support? What do you want the parishioners to do?
2. What is the most effective way to teach the parish community about stewardship?
Who understands and participates in stewardship within the parish community now? Can those people assist the parish stewardship committee with stewardship education?
3. Does the pastor understand stewardship and support its implementation and renewal? Is the pastor willing to teach and preach about stewardship?
4. Does the staff understand that “promoting, administering and modeling stewardship is a primary responsibility”? Are they able to support stewardship implementation or renewal?
