St.

Patrick’s P A R I SH Highlights of Our 2021 Stewardship Renewal

R

ecently, St. Patrick's Parish conducted the 2021 Stewardship Renewal, which gave our parish community the opportunity to discern how we are using our gifts of time, talent, and treasure in gratitude to God. This month, we are happy to share with you some of the highlights of the Stewardship Renewal.

- There were 138 commitment cards received from 18 percent of parish households.

- There were 1,311 prayer commitments — the stewardship of time — from 127 parish households.

- There were 584 ministry commitments — the stewardship of talent. Of these, 179 were new ministry commitments, while 405 were re-commitments to parish ministries.

- There were 107 offertory commitments — the stewardship of treasure — with an average pledge of $2,557.

We thank all those who participated in our 2021 Stewardship Renewal at St. Patrick's. 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 parish community!
