Step/Meeting 2. ​
Communicate the Message
​of Stewardship

This step/meeting focuses on how your parish may choose to share the message of stewardship with the parish community overall.  This expanded understanding of stewardship includes, but also stretches beyond, the traditional ideas of time, talent, and treasure with which many of our faithful are familiar.  

A vibrant communication strategy will help spread the stewardship message throughout your parish community, by utilizing varied platforms.  These communication platforms can include one-to-one personal witnessing, lay witness talks at mass, pastoral homilies, bulletin inserts, web based and social media, etc. The possibilities are endless!
