Stewardship

Stewardship at St. Bartholomew
- As the Body of Christ in Bethesda, members of St. Bartholomew have been given the charisms, gifts and practical resources to be a sign of the Lord’s providence and new life in the local community.
  
  Gifts Renewal
  
  Parishioners are asked to prayerfully discern how they will offer their gifts and resources in the upcoming year. All parishioners are encouraged to give sacrificially, with the confidence that “the Lord will not be outdone in his generosity” (St. Teresa of Avila).
  
  Coming soon! The ability to donate stocks and securities to the parish as well as offering cash donations through IRA qualified charitable distributions.

  To register for offering envelopes, kindly contact the Rectory.

- “We are in the time of action-the time in which to put to use the gifts of God not for ourselves, but for Him, for the Church, for others, the time during which always to try to increase the good in the world....It is important not to close in upon oneself, burying one's talent, one’s own spiritual, intellectual, material riches, everything that the Lord has given us, but to open oneself, to be in solidarity, to be attentive to the other.”
