Stewardship:
Parish Support and Participation

 
What is Christian Stewardship?
Christian stewardship is how we fulfill our baptismal call to live out our faith through action -- stewardship is what we do after saying what we believe. When we acknowledge that God is the source of all that we have, we show gratitude through prayer, worship, offerings and action -- giving back our time, talent and treasure to God in thanksgiving for our many blessings.

The mission of St. Ignatius Parish is to be "A community of followers of Jesus Christ . . . striving to use our many gifts to do God's work on earth." Stewardship is how we live this mission. St. Ignatius Parish provides numerous opportunities for its members to actively participate in the life of the church and we hope that this website will help you find ways to be good stewards of your gifts.

What is the Stewardship Committee?
The Stewardship Committee is a group of parishioners who seek to promote active involvement in parish ministries and the wider community. We organize or sponsor events such as the Parish Picnic, Time & Talent Fair, Annual Commitment Campaign, and Celebration of Service event for volunteers. We support all parish ministries and help create personal connections between "the Parish" and its members. Our goal is to help our community connect their faith with their daily lives and to see St. Ignatius as a community of people, not just a place to attend Mass. To learn more, contact Fran Van Bergen at (415) 422-6645 or fqvanbergen@usfca.edu.
