Stewardship
Time, Talent, Prayer, and Treasure
Stewardship is a Gospel call to live our lives with a spirit of gratitude for all God has given us. Traditionally, the church talks about three aspects of stewardship: time, talent, and treasure. St. Charles Borromeo adds what we believe to be another important aspect of our call, stewardship of prayer. All are important to the success of our parish. We at St. Charles Borromeo believe that God becomes known through the interaction of people who care. Whether responding to the needs of the poor with the St. Vincent de Paul group; helping with the youth mission trip; cleaning the church; assisting at the annual parish picnic or auction; joining a commission; or participating in one of the many other opportunities described in our Parish Handbook – you can help make our world a better place.

Stewardship of Treasure
We ask members to assess their personal gift of treasure and give back to God a financial commitment to the parish to allow for a fiscally responsible budget. St. Charles Borromeo Parish exists for you and because of you. Thank you for your generosity and support. Thank you for allowing us to remain a vital, growing community. Thank you for being a good steward and believing us when we say St. Charles Borromeo Parish needs you and your stewardship.
