Stewardship & Administration
Stewardship & Administration Commission The mission of the
Stewardship and Administration Commission is to continually raise
the awareness of parishioners regarding the concepts of stewardship.
What is Stewardship?
Stewardship is acknowledging that all we have and all we are
comes from God.
Stewardship is an acknowledgment of God's kingship over us.
Christian stewards, Jesus' disciples, recognize God as the
origin of life, giver of freedom, and the source of all things.
We look to the life and teaching of Jesus for guidance in living
as Christian stewards.
Stewardship had the power to shape and mold our understanding of
our lives and the way in which we live.
The
following committees are part of this Commission:
Finance Council acts as a consultative group to
the pastor regarding budgeting and the use of parish finances.
The council meets once each month with Fr. Jim to review the
prior months transactions and to discuss any future our
outstanding issues that may impact the parishes financial
well-being.
Facilities and Maintenance Committee oversees
the maintenance of all the buildings and the upkeep of the
grounds. The committee gathers each month to discuss the
condition of the buildings and grounds and plans all work and
projects that will be occurring on the parish properties. Our
major project currently underway is the complete tear-off and
re-shingling of our church. The current shingles were from the
original roof put on when the church was built. Tuck pointing
of the brickwork is also being coordinated at the same time to
correct and eliminate seepage that would otherwise undermine the
integrity of the new roof.
Administration oversees the day-to-day
activities of the parish.
