What is Stewardship?
-
Stewardship in the Diocese of Corpus Christi is a faith filled way of life that invites each of us to share in the mission of the Church by giving of our time, talent, and treasure.
Through a spirit of gratitude and trust, we seek to support our diocesan family, strengthen our community of faith, and ensure that every gift is used in a way that reflects the intentions of the giver and the needs of the Church. With care and confidentiality, we walk alongside you to help make your generosity meaningful and impactful.
Join us in this mission to prayerfully consider how you are called to give and to take part in building up the Church for today and for generations to come.
