“Stewardship is the grateful response of a Christian disciple who recognizes and receives God’s gifts and shares these gifts in love of God and neighbor.”
Stewardship is a way of life and a manner of action. As part of a pledge redemption communications plan, the parish should encourage parishioners to experience and live out their call to discipleship, through the parish, with the added invitation and opportunity to extend this discipleship to the wider diocesan and universal church.
It is recommended that a parish implement the Renew + Rebuild pledge redemption plan to maintain campaign communication and help establish a culture of stewardship that encourages parishioners to continue to invest their time, talent, and treasure.
The Archdiocese will continue to provide management and administrative support throughout the redemption period, but just as each individual parish’s role was central in the success of their campaign, the parish’s participation in pledge redemption is critical.
