News and Announcements


Jesus made it clear in the Scriptures that being stewards of our time, talent and treasure is part of the will of His Father.

The Office of Stewardship & Development is committed to fostering Christian stewardship as a way of life.

  • We know we are called to follow our Lord, Jesus Christ in recognizing that all we possess is a gift from the Father.
  • We know we are called to recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit in our brothers and sisters
  • We know we are called through Baptism, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, to gratefully share God's gifts in proportion to what we have received.

The Office of Stewardship & Institutional Advancement promotes the doctrine of shared responsibility and accountability as presented by the Vatican II Council and the 1992 Bishops' Pastoral Letter entitled Stewardship: A Disciple's Response. This philosophy is the foundation of every service provided by the Office of Stewardship & Development. Parishes who do not have a copy of this document may request one from our office.

In 2003, Stewardship and Evangelization: A Disciple's Response (PDF) was published by the Diocese of Raleigh as a blueprint for Stewardship and Evangelization in our Diocese. If you would like a hard copy of this document, you may request one from our office.

We also have copies of a new, full-color brochure, "Stewardship: A Way of Life... What does it mean for me?" that parishes may distribute at no cost. You may download the brochure here (PDF). To request copies, please send an email to Michael Pedley, mike.pedley@raldioc.org, along with your parish name, number of copies requested, and your plan for using them.
