BISHOP MCMANUS & HIS THOUGHTS ON STEWARDSHIP
Bishop McManus recently shared “In recent years a great deal of attention has been focused on pastoral planning, as you well know. Much has been discussed about parish consolidation, pastoral collaboration, parish and diocesan indebtedness, fiscal accountability, strengthening our Catholic schools and communication. All of these conversations are significant and must continue.
However, what has largely been overlooked is the implementation of “a stewardship way of life.” It is my hope that our diocese will continue to move forward to become a stewardship diocese, and that we will begin to see ourselves as forming stewardship parishes and schools. Dozens of dioceses and thousands of parishes across our nation have discovered a renewed spirituality and pastoral vitality through stewardship”.
