Stewardship is a way of life. It is a way of living each day in gratitude for all the blessings that God has given to us. The roots of Stewardship can be found in the Scriptures, which tell us that God is the Creator and Giver of all gifts. God gives us many gifts and blessings to do His work on earth. It is our responsibility to show our gratitude to God for these gifts, and to ask ourselves what we can give in return for all that He has given us.

"The promotion of the practice of stewardship is important for the mission of the Church and for the well-being of each individual Christian. Everyone benefits from the sacrificial gift one makes of their time, talent and treasure."

His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI
