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

90 n' 9 is a Praise and Worship band associated with the music ministry at St. Mary's Church in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Our purpose is to communicate the love of Christ through contemporary Christian music. We are proudly Catholic and Canadian! 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. St. Mary's music and youth ministries are under the direction of Shannon Barks and are supported by Fr. Larry Léger-Pastor.
