Why We Give
There’s no better investment in the world than the local parish. It is where people meet Jesus and lives are changed.



Giving Draws Us Closer to God
When you invest in what matters to God, you strengthen your relationship with Him.



Giving Grows Our Character
Giving helps us to better reflect the character of God. He has given us everything — not even withholding his own Son! God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son.



Giving Expresses Love For People
Our giving makes it possible for people to hear the Good News of God’s love for them. It also helps us provide, through our Ministry partners, critical care to the poor and those in need.



When you give in your place of worship as an act of worship, you are becoming more of the person God wants you to be. When you give, you are tangibly making a difference in someone’s life. Marriages are restored, lives are healed, and people meet Jesus. There’s no better investment in the world than the local parish.  Thank you for supporting your parish of Holy Redeemer or St. Charles Borromeo.

Stewardship:  An Expression of Discipleship

Stewardship always starts with the personal experience of the Risen Christ in our midst and in our hearts. It is a vocation to discipleship. The following of Christ as a disciple entails a personal response, and this call can result in a positive impact on our faith communities.

"Stewardship is an expression of discipleship, with the power to change how we understand and live out our lives." Good stewards live with joy and gratitude for the blessings they have received -- including those that have multiplied through diligence and hard work.

Individuals compose collectively the Body of Christ; therefore, disciples of Jesus Christ are stewards of the church because stewardship is the personal responsibility of each one of the baptized. "To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit." 1 Cor 12:7

Stewardship: let us begin with being a disciple -- a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ. As members of the church, Jesus calls us to be disciples. This has astonishing implications.

• Mature disciples make a conscious decision to follow Jesus, no matter what the cost.

• Christian disciples experience conversion -- life-shaping changes of mind and heart and commit their very selves to the Lord.

• Christian stewards respond in a particular way to the call to be a disciple. Stewardship has the power to shape and mold our understanding of our lives and the way in which we live.

Jesus' disciples and Christian stewards recognize God as the origin of life, giver of freedom, and source of all things. We are grateful for the gifts we have received and are eager to use them to show our love for God and for one another. We look to the life and teaching of Jesus for guidance in living as Christian stewards.
