Service

"I have come, not to be served, but to serve."

Members of a stewardship parish recognize that they also have a need to give beyond their own members only. Parishioners seek the parish family as a community to serve and to be served-to give and receive. Just as the members of a family come together to help one of their own, a stewardship parish family serves those who are hurting or have needs. People seek the parish family as a primary community to serve and to be served – to give and to receive. The members of a stewardship parish recognize that they also have a need to give beyond the parish. They have a need to serve and to give anywhere in the global community. Service, by those of all ages, provides the opportunity to practice hospitality, prayer, and formation.
