Stewardship
Stewardship is based on the spiritual principles of the Old testament and the teachings of Jesus. Stewardship involves the intentional, planned, and proportionate giving of time, talent, and treasure. Stewardship addresses both parishioners as well as the parish. Each of us has the opportunity and responsibility to use our abilities to build up the church, the body of Christ, and to serve others in the community. Listed below are many opportunities to enhance your life and the lives of others. Acknowledge the gifts and talents you possess. Make a decision to commit your gifts and talents to serving God and His people. Please call the contact people for the ministries in which you would like to share your time and talent or complete a Time and Talent Pledge Sheet on the Volunteer page!
Music

musician, one that they will carry with them throughout their lifetime.

The pastoral council of St Patrick's Church is an advisory group composed of
twelve members chosen by lot and four members of the parish appointed by the pastor.
One of the Council's goals is to improve communication among the pastor, staff,
council, all parish groups, and each parishioner. To do this, eight standing
committees have been formed to coordinate all parish activities. All Pastoral
Council members encourage parishioners to bring concerns and suggestions to the Council so
that our community may grow more fully Christ-like.
