Giving as Disciples of Jesus Christ
At St. Michael Parish, stewardship is more than supporting the parish financially—it is a way of life. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we recognize that everything we have is a gift from God. In gratitude for His blessings, we are called to share our time, talent, and treasure in service to His mission.
When Jesus commanded His followers to “Go, therefore, and make disciples,” He entrusted the Church with a mission that continues today. Through your generosity, St. Michael Parish is able to proclaim the Gospel, celebrate the sacraments, provide faith formation, support Catholic education, care for those in need, and strengthen our parish community.
Every gift, regardless of size, helps further the mission of making disciples and sharing Christ’s love with others.

A Heart of Gratitude
Your generosity makes a difference. Because of the faithful stewardship of our parish family, St. Michael the Archangel Parish continues to be a place where people encounter Christ, grow in faith, and are sent forth to serve others.
Thank you for sharing your gifts and supporting the mission of our parish. Together, we are building a community of disciples who know Christ, love Christ, and go forth to make disciples.
Stewardship of Time
24 hours, 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds – each of us has been graced with an equal amount of time. How is yours being spent?
Consider beginning each day with prayer, attending Mass on a regular basis, spending quiet time with the Lord at Eucharistic Adoration, or participating in a small group to nurture your life as a Disciple of Christ. Whatever way you choose to steward the gift of time, prayerfully consider how you are choosing to put God first.
Stewardship of Talent
Each of us has been graced with gifts to be used to spread God’s love. There is a ministry for everyone. Consider taking on the mission to welcome new parishioners to our parish, serve as a Catechist, offer leadership to a ministry, join the music ministry, prepare a dish for a funeral luncheon, to name a few.
Stewardship of Treasure
We invite you to purposefully steward your gifts of treasure to St. Michael the Archangel Parish. Do you offer the Lord the first portion of your treasure instead of what’s left over in your wallet or purse when the basket passes your way each week at Mass?
We ask that every parishioner prayerfully considers the gifts that God has given them. In gratitude for such gifts, we hope you give back to God through a significant gift to St. Michael the Archangel Parish on a regular basis. This giving back to God in support of the mission and ministry of the parish is essential to the spiritual life of you, the giver, and to the ongoing operations of the parish.
