2017 Spirituality of Stewardship Leadership Conference

Our focus on moving from "maintenance to mission" was continued with this Leadership Conference focusing on the Spirituality of Stewardship. Stewardship is so much more than financial giving. Stewardship, evangelization and discipleship all go hand in hand. Videos, PowerPoints and handouts from the conference presentations are included here.

Please wait while we gather your results.

Opening Prayer and Archbishop’s Reflection

The archbishop concludes his talk by stating: "If we get our stewardship right, it will increase our Church a hundred fold."
