You are called! Just as a family cannot function without the help from all of its members, our parish family needs help from all its members in contributing of their time, talent, and treasure.
Often when we hear the word stewardship, the first thing we think of is money. Though the gift of income is indeed from God, it is just one of the many gifts we have been given. Giving from the gift of treasure is important for the operation of our parish, our diocese, and many charitable organizations.

It begins with the time spent in relationship to God, the Giver of all our gifts. This starts with weekly Mass and, when possible, more frequently. Time spent in various forms of prayer (Rosary, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, etc.) and time spent with the Word of God in the Bible are ways to spend time in relationship with the Lord.
Giving from the gift of time can also be done in many ways through the parish and community. Sacred Heart has many opportunities available to each of us: serving as a greeter, lector, religion teacher, social outreach minister, etc. We invite you to look at all of the various ministries Sacred Heart has to offer. We hope you will find at least one to join. For ministry opportunities, see above.
God gives each person talents, typically referred to as our areas of strength. Giving back by using those talents is very rewarding. Some talents are obvious gifts; others are revealed in a less visible way. Some examples may be as simple as a good listening ear, some may be more spiritual such as leading a Bible study group. Whatever your gift, take the time to discern how you will use it in service and pledge lovingly to serve God and the Church. For ministry opportunities, see above.
