In 1992, the U.S. Catholic Bishops released a pastoral letter on stewardship entitled:
“Stewardship - A Disciples Response.” The Bishops described a Christian steward as one who:
Receives God’s gifts gratefully
Cherishes and tends them responsibly
Shares them in justice and love
Returns them to God.
By Definition:
⇒
Stewardship provides a spiritual way of living for all of us – a way of being in the world, particularly as we continue to embrace the New Millennium and respond to the Gospel call to renew the face of the Earth.
⇒
Stewardship is about the many gifts our gracious God has given us. It helps us to reflect upon our giftedness; all that we have which constitutes our treasure: Our families, friends, time, talents, skills, material possessions, finances.
⇒
Stewardship is about reflecting on our faith and on the way we live and act as disciples of Jesus.
⇒
Stewardship is about caring for all of God’s creation.
The Charity and Development Appeal (CDA) is the one Diocesan appeal that asks every Catholic family to financially and prayerfully support the more than 70 charitable, educational, and spiritual organizations which counsel, feed, clothe, house, educate, and comfort those in need throughout the four Arizona counties (Mohave, Maricopa, Coconino and Yavapai) within our Diocese. We are a family and the CDA serves the needs of our people beyond the boundaries of any one parish. As a result, more people are served across the community as well as within the parishes.
