Stewardship

“As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others and return them with increase to the Lord. Bishops’ Pastoral Letter on Stewardship

Sharing Talents

St. Anselm Church offers a variety of opportunities to share the gifts we have been given. Organizations such as: Social Ministry, Brown Bag Lunches, Adopt-A-Family; Homeless Dinners, Finance Council, Eucharistic Ministers …… provide ways you can work to make our parish a true community of faith and vibrant source of service to the larger community.

Financial Stewardship

The Sunday collection each week goes to the support of our Parish. The second collection of the first Sunday of each month is for the support of our parish school. Five times a year there is a 5^th Sunday in the month; on those Sundays, a collection is taken for the parish St. Vincent de Paul Society. The US Bishops have designated special collections for programs outside the parish boundaries. These collections are announced in the bulletin.

Archbishop’s Annual Appeal

Each year the Parish is assessed a certain amount for the support of the Archdiocesan Ministries and services to the aged, youth, families and the disadvantaged in our parishes throughout the Archdiocese. The goal for 2007 is $95,200. With the support of all families, we will be able to meet this goal.
