Stewardship Council

The Stewardship Council for Sacred Heart Parish was established in June, 2014 with the general responsibility to promote stewardship awareness and the annual stewardship renewal.
Stewardship is defined as the grateful response of a Christian disciple who recognizes and receives God's gifts and shares these gifts in love of God and neighbor.

The four Pillars of Stewardship include Hospitality, Prayer, Formation and Service.

Some of the responsibilities of this Council include:

1. Carry out stewardship renewal on an annual basis.
2. Promote stewardship within the Parish throughout the year.
3. Prepare and maintain a time and talent list
4. When parishioners volunteer, ensure that they are contacted to
become involved.
5. Evaluate the program on an annual basis.

 Old Business

Mary K asked if we should put a notice in the Bulletin for Funeral volunteers.  Donnie and Elaine both volunteered to assist as needed.  Fr. suggested that we should consider adding it to our volunteer forms.  Mary K said that we have several who volunteered as adult servers for Funerals.

  1. Mary K went thru the list with Pam this morning to review who had not returned a form.   It was felt that it wasn’t necessary to call non-responders.  Some who didn’t respond have continued with their ministries.  Sheryl asked when the individuals who asked to opt out of a ministry will be removed from the list.  Pam has the list and will update the rosters.  Sheryl suggested that we send a postcard to those who opted out thanking them for their service.

  2. Mary K asked for confirmation for sending thank you postcards to new ministry sign-ups.  She will speak with Pam to get the postcards put together.

  3. A thank you notice will be placed in the March newsletter to those who are continuing with their ministries.  The letter draft that Mary K developed as a general thank you was reviewed and approved.  Donnie moved to accept the letter; Elaine seconded it with unanimous approval.

  4. 2017 Stewardship Sign-up ideas:  It was mentioned that the HS Jazz Ensemble might be an option.  Another idea was a melodrama dinner theatre that would include teens and adults.  Another idea proposed was a country themed Fall party with pumpkin decorating, hayrack ride, smores and maybe music.   We looked at Camp Pawnee as a possible location.  Fr. Warren suggested having Saturday night mass at Camp Pawnee.  Brenda and Mary M will work on getting basic information to start the planning.  Donnie will ask Lewis about their cookers; Mary will ask Stacey about scheduling and also about the grill they had borrowed.  Sheryl is asking David and Kathy Hammeke if they will plant extra pumpkins.  Elaine will call DeVore’s in St. John about pumpkins.

New Business 

  1. Sheryl asked if each Council/Commission has a description of the duties inherent in that Council/Commission.  She suggested that we consider adding more information into our booklet.  Fr. Warren suggested that we put together a sample “job description” for other Councils/Commissions to follow.

  2. Mary K will let us know if Eric Haselhort will attend our next meeting.

 Next Meeting:  March 10th at 6:30 PM.
