About Stewardship

One who receives God’s gifts gratefully
Cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner
Shares them in justice and love with others
And returns them with increase to the Lord 

Christian stewardship is the grateful response we make to God’s generosity.

The first quality of a Christian Steward is being grateful. All that we have, and all that we are able to do, are gifts from God. Living a life as a Christian steward involves a deliberate decision to thank God for all His blessings by returning to Him a portion of our Time, Talent and Treasure.


The decision to share our Time, Talent and Treasure
with our communion of faith
is an important aspect of being a Christian steward.

Administration

Besides the secretarial duties of the office the Parish needs volunteers to fold bulletins, cards, pamphlets, etc when required.
The Parish also needs volunteers to work in the office when staff is off sick or on holiday, etc. There is also a need for typists to capture information for various programmes, etc.
If you are available during office hours and are able to give of your time, then volunteer for this ministry.

Floral Art

The floral committee is a group of parishioners who help make floral arrangements, clean up old flowers, etc and help plan for special Liturgical Seasons, such as Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter.
They may at times help out with Weddings and Funerals when required. This committee meets every Friday morning to prepare.
If you are creative and have an artistic flair then please consider joining this ministry.

Maintenance Committee

The Parish requires parishioners who can offer their expertise and services with regards to maintenance issues. This committee will inspect the church, hall and house property and Clive Court on a monthly basis. The Parish requires the expertise of painters, builders, plumbers, electricians, tilers, etc who are also able to help with decision making when receiving different quotes. The volunteers on this committee must be available for emergencies. This committee will need to help the Parish with long term building and repair goals. If you have any of these skills, please consider helping our Parish.

Sacristans

A Sacristan is a parishioner charged with care of the sacristy, the church, and their contents. They prepare the Altar for Holy Mass and make sure that all the sacred vessels and vestments are presented in a way that befits the celebration of Holy Mass and the other Sacraments. Most of Sacristan’s work is done behind the scenes as they arrive 20 minutes before Mass to set up and remain after Mass to prepare for the next Sacristans to take over for the next Mass. This ministry requires effort and commitment. If you have these qualities, then this ministry welcomes you.
