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.

Mary Klinge called the meeting to order and shared the Stewardship prayer.

The March minutes were approved.

  1. Old Business

Mary Klinge paid the fees.  Elaine has the name of her friend in St. John to ask for the pumpkin grower should we need them.

  1. The Job Description was also reviewed and discussed.  I asked if there should be any specific instructions for the Chairperson to provide a copy of the job description to a prospective member for review to determine if that person was interested.  The consensus was that the Chairperson would be allowed to decide how to disseminate information.   Thanks to Brenda and Sheryl for developing the guidelines.

  2. Mary K asked for feedback on the letter that she prepared to send out to the Chair for each Council or Commission for the upcoming elections.  The letter was approved unanimously for distribution.    Mary K will send the letter, job description and list of names interested in each Council.  Mary K will visit with Pam about publishing the information in the May Bulletins.  We also discussed the rotation of members dropping off at the end of the 2nd year. 

  3. Sheryl attempted to reach American Ag Credit regarding use of the grill.  She will continue to call.

  4. New ministry training has not been completed yet.  Sr. Rebecca advised that she noticed new lectors that have not been trained to be assigned to read.  Sr. Rebecca will be scheduling the Eucharistic Minister and Sacristan training.  Fr. Warren suggested that there be individual training for new Ushers and Hospitality Greeters.

  5. The Knights of Columbus is doing a benefit for the Scouts Museum next week and asked if the Altar Society could provide cakes. Mary K will bring that up at the Altar Society meeting Sunday. 

 New Business

We discussed potential members for the upcoming position openings.  We discussed how to encourage others to consider running for a position.  We came up with several names who will be asked by specific members to see if they would be interested in running for a Stewardship Council member.

  1. Mary K advised that we missed the first semi-annual church cleaning.  She suggested Saturday, May 7th.  We discussed April 30th also, but decided that did not leave enough time for planning.  Mary M suggested that we discuss setting specific weekends as the designated semi-annual cleaning dates.  We will take care of breakfast.  Mary K will ask Pam for the task cards.  We will ask people to bring cleaning supplies as in buckets, mops, etc.  Mary K will ask Pam if she will provide the cleaning solutions again.

New Business for next meeting:  Identify the fall clean-up date. 

The meeting was adjourned with praying the Glory Be.

Next Meeting:  May 12th at 6:30 PM.
