About Us

“Catholic Stewardship Consultants is the only organization I have found that truly understands the spirituality of stewardship. In my work with them I have been deeply impressed with their commitment to the Church. We share the same vision of Stewardship – not as a campaign or program, but as a way of life. In their work with parishes, Catholic Stewardship Consultants uses the same approach I used at St. Francis of Assisi.” — Msgr. Thomas McGread, the late Stewardship pioneer and Pastor of St. Francis of Assisi in Wichita, KS

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 financial 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 financial giving figures, and increased parishioner engagement. You can expect the same results in your parish.
