Each of us has been gifted in some unique way, and at the heart of stewardship is the belief that all of these gifts flow from God, the Source of all. As Christians, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, and cultivate them responsibly. It is our privilege to share them lovingly with others. The grateful return of time and talent to God in an ecclesial setting is accomplished when each person supports the Church’s mission of proclaiming, teaching, serving, and sanctifying.
You have unique abilities, skills, and interests. Matching your gifts with a particular ministry can heighten the spiritual experience and prevent any uneasiness. Jesus tells us not to hide our light under a basket but to let it shine forth. (Matthew 5:15-16)
To help you determine the ministry best suited to you, consider:
- Your occupation/profession
- Your skills and talents
- Your hobbies and interests
- How much time you can commit
- Gifts that other people say they recognize in you
- Ministry you feel called to: liturgical, environmental, catechetical (teaching or assisting with faith formation/sacramental preparation, youth ministry, and adult formation), outreach (prayer, health ministry, social justice, and service), and more.
Below, you can find detailed information regarding the different ministries available at St. Peter.
