Stewardship Calendar of Events

 

Stewardship Team Meeting, Tuesday June 28 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Hall

This is a kick-off meeting for all parish Stewardship Team members conducted by Liam McArdle.  The goal is to bring the teams up to speed on the ministry, review each parish renewal plan, finalize the schedule and start planning for the parish renewals.  

 

Please do the following:

  1. Inform your Stewardship teams about the date
  2. Have your Stewardship team Chairperson contact me (223-1562 x323 or jswyt@sfoasj.org). 

 

Leadership Retreat, Friday/Saturday September 16/17 at Most Holy Trinity

This Retreat and the Leadership Gathering are the two most important opportunities to enlist your parish leaders to Stewardship as A Way of Life.  Invite as many of your key leaders as you like.  We hope to have 60-70 people from each parish at each of these two major events.  It will be conducted in three languages.  The Retreat and Gathering are a “package deal.”  When you invite your leaders to the retreat, inform them that by accepting, they will also be committing to attend the Gathering. 

 

Organizing Team:          We would like to get a small team organized to coordinate the details of the retreat including scheduling of music at the gatherings.  If you have candidates, have them contact me.

 

Leadership Gathering,  Monday October 3 at St. Francis of Assisi

The retreat is a spiritual experience while the Gathering is a discernment opportunity at which all the leaders will be asked to review their roles, and requested to take their commitment card home, reflect and pray on their decision, and return it on their parish on Commitment Sunday.  Please start preparing your invitation list.  Liam has some templates that will assist you with the invitation.   

 

For now, the key tasks for your parishes include:

1.      Organizing and informing your Stewardship Teams

2.      Organizing your Communications team to coordinate the newsletter

3.      Inviting your Leadership, Finance, Stewardship, Clergy, Staff and key lay leaders to the Retreat and Leadership Gathering. 

 

Eric and Liam will email you a more detailed parish general timeline.
