Our stewardship website has been created to disseminate Stewardship information for St. Edward the Confessor parish in Granville, Ohio. On this website, you can read about the ministries available and active at St. Edward's, sign up for new ministries at St. Edward's, and/or submit questions about our Stewardship program.
The true measure of a successful stewardship parish must be viewed one parishioner at a time. As parishioners’ hearts are opened to the TRUTH about the Gospel message of stewardship exemplified in the life of Christ, their actions cause a positive ripple effect in their families, their work, their Church, their community, their country, and the world. This occurs as the gifts of the Holy Spirit work through them causing positive changes in ALL aspects of their lives.
Stewardship is a way of life, honoring God in everything we do with all His gifts, living life God-centered rather than self-centered. Stewardship is having the heart to give back out of love a portion of every gift that has been entrusted to us by God. A life of Stewardship is a life dedicated to God, a life lived in a Parish for which we take personal responsibility – for its life, its actions, its work in the community, its impact on the world. If we understand our role as Stewards of God’s gifts, we are passionately involved in our Parish community, even as we are involved in our towns and cities, in our neighborhoods and work environments.
Remember, the real goal of Stewardship is to change our lives - commitment to the Stewardship journey will change your life forever!
