Mission Statement

The Stewardship Commission strives to encourage all parishioners to understand Stewardship as a way of life, an attitude of the mind and heart that is expressed in action emphasizing that all people, things and experiences are gifts/blessings from God.

The Stewardship Commission asks the question of all parishioners:  Who is a Christian Steward?  We all are.  The Commission encourages us to identify our gifts and blessings, to be grateful for what we have been given, to cultivate and use those gifts responsibly, to share them lovingly in justice with others, and to return them back to God with increase.

The primary focus of this Commission is to be a catalyst for ongoing sharing of each parishioner’s individual gifts for the continued growth and betterment of the parish community in all ways.

As stewards, we have the opportunity to make decisions related to what God wants to do through us to accomplish his will.  Each contribution of time talent or treasure pays itself forward in untold ways.  Each act however small, effects a change in someone’s life, in our community and the giver’s life.  Christ teaches “give and you shall receive”.  Participating in a St. Luke ministry not only allows you to help others but to grow with every experience.

At St. Luke Parish, there are more than 70 ministries in which parishioners can become involved. Click on the "St. Luke Ministries" tab at the top of the page to help answer this question:

Lord, what do You want to do, through me,
to accomplish Your will for our Parish?

My Gifts for God’s People” Stewardship Campaign:

THANK YOU  to all the individuals and families who have renewed their commitment to The Church of St. Luke the Evangelist by completing a form during this year’s campaign.  The response by our parishioners has been remarkable.  Over 350 forms have been collected and over 1,000 names have been added to the 67 lists of ministries offered by our parish!  If you have not yet completed a form, it is not too late to join your fellow parishioners.  The Commitment Form can be placed in the Offertory Basket during Mass or returned to the parish office at 1212 Bunts Road.  Thank you for offering your gifts of Time, Talent, and Treasure that help us spread the good news of Jesus Christ to those in our parish and neighborhood community.
