According to the US Catholic Bishops' pastoral letter on stewardship, "A Christian steward is one who receive's God's gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others and returns them with increase to the Lord."
The goal of stewardship activities at St. Thomas More Newman Center is to develop a sense of community so that parishioners value giving freely of their time, talent and treasure in support of their parish. The Stewardship Commission
-
- coordinates parish-wide community events such as the Chili Cook-Off, Trivia Night, Fat Saturday and the parish picnic
-
- promotes fund-raising activities such as the phonathon in support of campus ministry and various mailings.
-
- educates the parish on stewardship issues
-
- facililtates communication with parents, student parishioners, alumni, friends of Newman and resident parishioners via the Called To Share newsletter, promotional brochures and the website.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace (1 Peter 4:10)
