It's time for our Annual Stewardship Renewal. This year's theme is "Return Love for Love," a beautiful reminder that God has blessed each of us with unique gifts, and we are called to respond by sharing those gifts with love. 

Stewardship is a way of living out our call as disciples and growing in our relationship with Christ. The Diocese of Wichita describes this through four pillars of stewardship: Prayer - Formation - Hospitality - Service. Each of us has a role to play in building a vibrant parish community, through our prayer, by welcoming and caring for others, by continuing to grow in our faith, and by using the gifts God has given us in service to the Church and the world.

COMPLETE YOUR STEWARDSHIP RENEWAL BY NOVEMBER 15TH

We ask every parishioner of St. Rose & St. Louis to complete their stewardship renewal no later than November 15th. You may choose whichever option is most convenient:

• OPTION 1: Return the physical stewardship packet & return to the parish office or drop in the collection basket.
• OPTION 2: Complete the online stewardship renewal form by clicking this link.

It is important we receive a renewal from EVERY family to help keep our records up to date, and importantly, to help keep our ministry lists current so we know who is interested in being involved and where their gifts may best serve our parishes.

One helpful resource is the Gifted to Serve survey published by the Diocese. This survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and can help you discover your strengths, interests, and areas where you may be a great fit within our parish ministries. Click here for the Diocese Gifted to Serve Survey. Once complete, you'll receive an email guiding you to the ministries that match your gifts.

In a recent issue of the Catholic Advance, Fr. Jarrod Lies reminds us that each of us has unique gifts that we are called to share. As you complete your stewardship renewal, we encourage you to prayerfully consider where God may be calling you to share your gifts. View the full Catholic Advance article by Fr. Jarrod Lies here.

Thank you for being a part of our St. Rose & St. Louis parish families and for helping us continue to grow in faith, build our ministries, welcome others, and serve our parishes and communities.
