Diocesan Stewardship for Parishes

Stewardship at the Diocesan Level

The Stewardship Office supports Catholics throughout the Diocese of Fort Worth by providing resources to help increase engagement, prayer life and discipleship. God has called each of us to be faithful stewards of the many gifts he has given us, and stewardship is fundamentally the work of the Spirit in our lives, using us as joyful bearers of the Good News of Salvation.

How the Stewardship Office Helps:

• Provide parish leadership with organizational tools.
• Help parishioners learn about the spirituality of Stewardship.
• Assist parishes with the formation of their Stewardship Committees.
