Characteristics of a Stewardship Parish
The Diocese of Rapid City offers three primary lenses for which to build the foundations of stewardship in our parishes –
- Generous Hospitality: invitation, welcome and fellowship;
- Lively Faith: prayer, study and formation;
- Dedicated Discipleship: to love God and to love neighbor with an intentional heart.
Living a life of stewardship means whole-heartedly peering through these three indispensable lenses so that we may truly live a Catholic Way of Life, hearing the voice of Jesus, following Him and imitating His way of life.
The Characteristics of a Stewardship Parish Manual offers a roadmap for implementing these lenses and transforming your parish.

The Essence of Stewardship
MODULE A: What’s Possible with Stewardship?
The Stewardship Parish process offers a roadmap for implementing the lenses of hospitality, faith, and discipleship, and transforming your parish.
Whether you are a parish leader or simply a parishioner who wants to make a difference in your community, we can show you how the Characteristics of a Stewardship Parish can help you.
MODULE 1: What is Stewardship?
Christian Stewardship builds on this understanding of a steward and at the heart of it is the belief that every good thing in our lives is a gift from God. Our material wealth, our health, our talents, the time we have each day, our faith, these are all gifts from above.
