Stewardship in our day-to-day lives

What is a steward? A steward is someone who receives God’s gifts gratefully, develops those gifts responsibly, shares those gifts lovingly in justice with others, and makes a return with interest to the Lord. As such, the goal of parish vitality and stewardship is to help increase the engagement of everyone in the life of their parish as stewards, inviting us all to become more involved in the myriad of different ways to serve one another for the glory of God.

All About Stewardship

Part of St. Mary's Youth Ministry and with strong ties to St. Joseph's high school in Barrie we are part of the large and vibrant Catholic community in the area.
