CATHEDRAL OF THE

SACRAMENT Stewards of God’s Gifts

highlights of our

2021 Stewardship Renewal T

his past fall, our Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament leadership conducted the 2021 Stewardship Renewal. The Stewardship Renewal gave our parish community the opportunity to discern how we are using our gifts of time, talent and treasure in service to the parish and in return to God. This month, we are happy to share with you some of the highlights of the 2021 Stewardship Renewal. • There were 203 commitment cards received from 20 percent of active households. • There were 1,478 prayer commitments — the stewardship of time — from 93 percent of participating households. • There were 640 ministry commitments — the stewardship of talent — from 81 percent of participating households. Of these, 312 were new ministry commitments, while 328 were re-commitments to parish ministries. • There were 144 offertory commitments — the stewardship of treasure — from 71 percent of participating households. The average pledge was $2,084. We thank all those who participated in our 2021 Stewardship Renewal. We are excited to see so many of our households making commitments to grow closer to Christ through the use of their time, talent, and treasure. If you did not have the opportunity to fill out and return a commitment card, we invite you to consider the ways you may share your gifts of time, talent and treasure with God and the parish community!
