What's Possible for Us?

As a parish,our collective potential will be realized only when we have unwrapped all of gifts ~ discovering the full potential of each individual parish member.

As stewards, we are first invited to be great receivers.

With open hands and heart, we realize how gifted we are by our loving God. In response, we are grateful ~ for all that we have, Given ~ offering our hearts to God, & GENEROUS ~ learning from God's own's generosity, we serve and share our gifts selflessly.

 

"...whoever sows bountifullu will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined,

without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9: 6-7

St Jerome Stewardship Prayer

Lord, St. Jerome is composed of people
just like me. I help make it what it is.

St Jerome will be friendly, loving, purpose driven,
and Jesus centered... If I live these ideals everyday.

Our Parish will be Holy, and filled with the
Holy Spirit... If I am filled with the Holy Spirit.

St Jerome will grow, our pews filled, our ministries
overflowing with gifts... If I am involved.

Our Parish will be able to reach out to all...
If I am willing to share my gifts, and
if I am filled with hope and love.

May your Holy Spirit empower me today
to become the kind of parishioner you want me to be.
I ask this, through Christ our Lord. Amen

   

Serve & Share Commitment

We invite you to prayerfully offer a generous commitment in proportion to you blessings ~ giving a percentage of your income in line with the Lord's call to make a selfless sacrifice and yet, to do so without compulsion ~ instead in a spirit of true giving with a great joy.

As Catholics, we are called to embrace the biblical notion of tithing which means giving 10% of our income to the works of the Lord. Tithing means that we give 5% of our income to the Parich and its many ministries and services, 1% to the Diocesan Annual Pastoral Appeal, and the remaining 4% to other worthwhile causes, for example Catholic Schools and Education, Building Campaigns, Speacial Appeals and other Charities. To easily calculate your 5% Parish weekly giving goal, simply divide your annual income by 1000.

If neccessary, reach toward your giving goal over a year or two. Your commitment below will help us to meet our collective goals as a Parish.
