Youth ministry. Spiritual renewal. Parish staff and leadership need to be given a variety of educational opportunities, some of which include continued formation in stewardship—e.g., this conference.

  14. IX. Reaching Out to Those in Need If you expect, or ask, your people to contribute proportionately, then the parish needs to make a similar commitment. In other words commit a set percentage of the offertory to be given to the poor and those in need! Strive to impact four areas where need exists: 1. Locally. 2. Within the (arch)diocese. 3. Nationally and/or regionally. 4. Internationally.
