Stewardship

As Catholics, we know that everything we have is a gift from God. Through the teachings of Jesus, we are called to be good managers (that is, good stewards) of all that we have been given -- our time, talents, and treasure. We are called upon to cultivate the gifts we have been given, and share them lovingly, so that we may be accountable to God, our Creator.

Giving of Our Time

Giving of our time in Service to others is a powerful gift. Donating your time to an event or ministry at St. Stanislaus can also be very personally rewarding, as you see the impact of your sacrifice. In addition to the many Parish ministries available, you may choose to participate with one or more of our parish organizations, such as the Ushers, the St. Stan's AC, or the Knights of Columbus, to name a few.

Giving of Our Talents

Among the many gifts we are given are those that are uniquely ours: a voice for singing, a talent for numbers, a knack of organization, a gift for oratory. How can you share these with your faith community? We can help!

Giving of Our Treasure

Financial support is essential to the life and ministry of St. Stanislaus Kostka parish. There are many ways to support the parish through your financial gift, including:

  • Use of weekly offertory envelopes
  • Support of the Saginaw Diocese Catholic Services Appeal
  • One-time donations made to the Parish for a project or fundraiser
  • Donations made through a will, trust, or other structured gift
  • Donations and pledges in support of our Capital Campaign (see details at right)
  • Donations to our Parish Endowment (see details at right)

Whichever means you utilize, know that your sacrifices help make the work of our Parish possible!

Most donations are tax-deductible.
More information on any of these topics can be obtained by calling the Parish Office.

Capital Campaign

Our Capital Campaign aims to pay off the loan on our Campus Project. You can help by:

  • Donate using purple envelopes
  • Purchase a Memorial Brick
  • Attend Cash Bash in October
  • Buy a commemorative ornament
  • And more!

Parish Endowments

St. Stanislaus Parish has established two endowment funds to provide ongoing support for the Parish:

The Parish Endowment Fund is premanently endowed, meaning a fixed amount of the earnings are available for Parish Use on an annual basis.

The Advised Fund is partially endowed; the remainder can be used to repair, maintain, and preserve our church building, as decided by the advisors.

Contact the Parish Office to learn how you can create a legacy by donating to these funds.
