St. Andrew is meeting the challenge to continue to find new ways of living our vision to Love God, Serve Neighbor, Nurture Disciples.
We Can, We Have, and We Will continue to be good stewards of the gifts God continues to give.

Please prayerfully consider your 2021 financial commitment to the parish.
Say I Will again.
We invite you to fill out the 2021 commitment form below.
“What is a Christian steward? One who receives God’s gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others and returns them with increase to the Lord.”
USCCB, Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response
We should consistently be asking how our families are contributing their
treasure, talent and time to our parish community.
The needs within and outside our parish are real and sometimes overwhelming,
but collectively, we can and we will make a difference!
How do you answer the following questions?
Every great thing that happens at St. Andrew starts with you!
Financial Stewardship
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”
Matthew 6:21
How many times have you visited a coffee shop this week? Coffee is an easy scapegoat, but it represents a real question: how are we, as Catholics, investing in our spirituality, and nourishing the gifts God gives us? Every dollar we spend is a choice God asks us to make. Choose to give back and fill your cup with the richness of Catholic stewardship.
How does ministry happen?

Will you join us in praying for our parish in this time of discernment?
O God, in whose every creation we discover a gift freely given:
all that we have comes from the outpouring of your generosity.
Inspire in our hearts a deep sense of gratitude,
and move us to share what we have received with
the same immensity of spirit in which it was given.
O Lord, you breathe your Spirit upon us and send us out with your peace,
and so we will form disciples who will care of our common home.
We will be your presence in our world as we light the flame of faith
and give hope to the hopeless.
As your Mystical Body we will care for the poor and the sick,
the stranger and the imprisoned.
We will witness to your love with our entire lives.
O God, You call each of us to play a unique role in the unfolding of your divine plan.
Give us the grace to answer your call:
Who will? … We will!
We ask this with grateful hearts through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
