How do we develop among ourselves a stewardship spirituality that responds in a grateful, responsible and generous way to this fact? To help us with this important question, St. Paul's Newman Center has a Parish Stewardship Committee. Please feel to contact any member, as well as the parish office, if you have any suggestions, ideas, concerns or questions regarding Christian stewardship of our time, talents and financial resources.
