Highlights of Our
2021 STEWARDSHIP RENEWAL
E
arlier this year, our Holy Family Area Catholic Community leadership conducted the 2021 Stewardship Renewal. The Stewardship Renewal gave our parish community the opportunity to discern how we are using our gifts of time, talent and treasure in service to the parish and in return to God. This month, we are happy to share with you some of the highlights of the Stewardship Renewal. • • • •
There were 116 commitment cards received from 38 percent of active households. There were 1,085 prayer commitments — the stewardship of time — from 95 percent of participating households. There were 486 ministry commitments — the stewardship of talent — from 84 percent of participating households. Of these, 119 were new ministry commitments, while 367 were re-commitments to parish ministries. There were 83 offertory commitments — the stewardship of treasure — from 72 percent of participating households. The average pledge was $2,173.
We thank all those who participated in our 2021 Stewardship Renewal. If you did not have the opportunity to fill out and return a commitment card, we invite you to consider the ways you may share your gifts of time, talent and treasure with God and the faith community!
