General Consultation

Catholic Stewardship Consultants works intimately with parishes during multi-year engagements. We have a wealth of knowledge about all aspects of parish operations and are able to advise you on every aspect of stewardship development.

We will share the long-term strategies of stewardship pioneer Msgr. Thomas McGread, as well as best practices of parishes across the country. We will work with you, the parish staff, and other parish leaders to ensure the process is effective from start to finish.

Stewardship Planning

Unlike temporary fundraising campaigns, fostering a parish-wide stewardship culture inherently is a long-term process. This is because stewardship changes hearts — not just improves finances. To see beyond next year’s budget and into the future, nothing is more valuable than thorough, formal planning.

We collaborate with your parish leaders to prayerfully envision the next several years of parish stewardship development. We then create an annual plan that establishes concrete goals, schedules, and responsibilities, which will help to guide the entire stewardship initiative over a one-year or three-year period. It will detail each component of the process — when it will be conducted, and who is responsible.
