Stewardship in Parish Life

It is our prayer that parishioners will be generous with their time, talent and treasure to their church and to each other; to cultivate a spirit of responsibility and proprietorship for all God's earthly gifts - especially parish facilities; providing skills and know-how in management of parish financial resources and obligations; and in all things, to support St. Andrew's mission.

• To have all families and individuals attending St. Andrew to complete a church registration form and turn into the parish office
• To increase the understanding of stewardship in our personal and family life - the giving of our time, talent and treasure as gifts from God.
• To increase our service to the poor and needy of our church and community.
• To increase the number of parishioners that feel connected to our church.
• To increase the number of volunteers to help carry out the church's program - everyone has gifts to offer and volunteers are always needed and welcome.
• To increase the number of households giving to the church on a regular basis through the use of weekly stewardship envelopes. Just because you miss going to church on a weekend, the bills still must be paid.
• To improve the feeling of community by helping members to know one another people and to get involved.
• To increase awareness of the ministries of the parish and work to strengthen the leadership of ministry groups to increase their dynamics, service and membership.
• To help increase the understanding and financial support of the Catholic Faith Appeal, which is an annual financial assessment of our church by the Diocese of Venice to support a long list of services and programs coordinated by the diocese.
• To help our parish by serving as a catalyst to help parishioners feel a sense of pride, confidence and ownership in our parish.
• To encourage parishioners to understand the need and provide the support for additional church facilities that will keep up with the growth of our community and the need for such facilities to help carryout the mission of St. Andrew Catholic Community.
• To increase the school endowment and planned gifts to support the parish.
