Developing Stewardship as a Way of Life

Catholic Stewardship Consultants is a Christ-centered consulting firm that provides customized stewardship services to Catholic parishes. We believe that the ultimate mission of the Church is to bring people into a living relationship with God and each other, through Jesus Christ. And we believe that the message of stewardship is essential in furthering that mission.

We work with you to establish a stewardship spirituality in your parish, beginning with your current leaders. We help educate your parishioners, and then invite them to make commitments of time, talent, and treasure. The result is that parishioners are drawn into parish life and increase their offertory giving. But the most important result is that your parishioners grow closer to Jesus as they become better stewards.

Our Foundation

Our organization was founded in response to Stewardship: A Disciple's Response, the 1992 pastoral letter promulgated by the Bishops of the United States. The document's sound theological principles and practical wisdom are the foundation for every service we offer to parishes.

We follow the example set by Msgr. Thomas McGread, the renowned stewardship pioneer from Wichita, Kansas. For Msgr. McGread, and for us, stewardship is a spiritual, biblically-based principle that begins with conversion of heart and translates into a lifestyle of service.

Proven Results

Our parish clients have seen parish life transformed as they emphasize stewardship. Pastors report both spiritual and tangible results—a growing sense of community, improved offertory figures, and increased volunteerism. You can expect the same results in your parish:

• Your parish will dramatically improve the quality of its communications, resulting in a deepened understanding of stewardship, especially its connection to Christian discipleship.
• Parishioners will increase their sense of ownership in the parish and form a more positive attitude toward their parish and the Church.
• Parishioners will receive a balanced message that gives equal emphasis to stewardship of time, talent, and treasure.
• A greater number of parishioners will become actively involved in parish life, especially in various ministries and activities.
• A greater number of parish households will participate in the weekly offertory, and those who already give regularly will increase the amount of their contributions.
