You often hear “Stewardship is a 'Way of Life’ at SMM”, but what does that mean? We have an active Stewardship committee, but what do they do? Stewardship is an attitude of the mind and heart that isexpressed in the action - a way of living.

Stewardship is an attitude of the mind and heart that is expressed in action – a way of living. The Stewardship Council assists our pastor in developing that Way of Life. The Stewardship Council and its member's work with our current ministries to maintain the parish Stewardship process. This process involves educating and communicating this “Way of Life” to our parishioners through events like our annual Ministry Fair and Commitment Weekends. But we would like to do more!

The council is currently looking for SMM parishioners who want to become more involved in their parish and who want to help us bring the parishioners and ministries together; kind of like SMM‟s own mini spiritual marketing department. What makes a good council member? (1 Peter) said, “each one, has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” Do you see stewardship as a spiritual act, as an opportunity and have a love for our parish and our church?
