We are a stewardship parish. We ask our parishioners once per year to Pray, Commit, and Respond so that we can plan for our parish. We do not typically "pass the basket" however we ask our folks to use the collection boxes in the baptistery for those who use checks or cash. We try to limit our "asks" to only those collections that are part of our Diocesan efforts or those that involve one of our parish ministries.
How will you steward God's gifts of time talent and treasure in the coming year? How will you grow your faith and that of your family? Complete your Stewardship Commitment today!
There are over 60 ministries here at Saint Bede that serve the spiritual and material needs of the parish and community As part of our stewardship, we invite every parishioner to get involved in a ministry, to experience the love and joy of Christ through service to others.
Be hospitable to one another without complaining. As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.’ 1 Peter 4:9-10
Pray. Commit. Respond.
