Our Belief
We believe that the work of development, founded on the core Scriptural principles of stewardship and self-giving, is a ministry to those who are invited to give and to those that benefit from the Church's work in countless ways.
Christian Stewardship at its core is the heartfelt belief that all we have is a blessing from God - every breath we take, every loved one, every freedom, every talent and ability, every material possession and every natural element in our environment. Though we will inevitably face challenges and hardships during our lifetime, those who maintain a steward's perspective find peace and contentment in what they have rather in what they do not have. Appreciating how gifted they are by God, Christian Stewards are freed up to give of themselves in proportion to their many blessings.
Learn more about the biblical concept of stewardship that embraces "the call to follow Jesus and imitate his way of life" through the publication of a new 10th anniversary edition of the Pastoral Letter from the U. S. Catholic Bishops - “Stewardship - A Disciples Response”.
