Everything in the    Name of the        Lord Jesus Diocese of Crookston Giving & Stewardship
Every person should walk unhesitatingly according to their own personal gifts and duties in the path of a living faith which arouses hopes and works through charity. - Vatican Council II  Lumen Gentium 41
Materials on Stewardship, information on our Diocesan Annual Appeal, our annual St. Mary’s Mission Appeal, and opportunities for giving.
Christian stewardship is one of the fruits of discipleship.  A Christian disciple makes a mature choice to accept Jesus’ call by sharing gifts of time, talent and treasure as an outward expression of one’s discipleship. In responding wholeheartedly to the Lord’s invitation, we recognize God’s gifts, strive to take care of them, and share them out of love for God and neighbor. The diocesan Office of Stewardship offers support and opportunities for this Christian expression of sharing.
Diocesan Annual Appeal (DAA) Our annual appeal to the parishes  of the Diocese of Crookston.
