Catholic Stewardship is a way of life. Stewardship is best understood within the context of the conversion process, the turning away from self-centeredness to the recognition that God is the loving Creator and source of everything in our lives. This conversion process transforms our fundamental perspective of life – we move from owners of what we have, to trustees/stewards of the unconditional and loving gifts that have come from God. With this perspective, a steward recognizes that everything comes from God, develops what has been given, shares it in a loving and just way, and increases what God entrusts to her/him according to the will of God.

Offertory
The Offertory, or Collection, at Mass, is an integral part of the Sunday liturgy, not just because it is the primary means by which the parish receives financial support from the parishioners, but because it is also an expression of our gratitude to God for the blessings He has given us to return a portion of them back to Him for use by His Church.

Second Collections
As Catholics, not only do we support our parish family, but also our greater community around us. The Diocese of Austin's second collections allow us to give resources to both our region and the world.
-
Envelopes
Online giving is the preferred method of giving. However, if you are unable to establish online giving you may request to receive envelopes. The envelopes are mailed bi-monthly to the address in our membership directory. You can put the envelope in the donation basket during Mass or take it to the office during office hours. Please indicate your desired fund on the memo line of your check (ex: Offertory)

Approximate total time monthly: 10 minutes
