Pastoral Corner
Catholic stewardship takes a broader view. Because we are all members not only of a local parish, but also of a
diocesan, and national, and universal Church community, we interpret our responsibility to contribute to the support of
the Church as extending into these areas as well. The Parable of the Good Samaritan in the Gospel of Luke makes clear
that our neighbor is anyone in need. And, because we are members of the human family via our local communities
and citizens of a state and a nation, we also recognize that our responsibility of charitable giving extends into these
areas as well.
A handy formula used in many dioceses is the suggestion that in tithing, in giving back to God, Catholics should
contribute 5% of their gifts to the support of the local parish, 2.5% to diocesan and wider Church needs, and 2.5% to
the needs of the communities in which they live.
Using this formula: If you earn $50,000 a year, are you currently giving $2,500 or $50 a week to support your parish,
and $1,250 a year to other Church needs, as well as $1,250 for various other charities?
Unfortunately, this formula is more theory than fact for most parishes and dioceses. Were it a fact, there would be no
need for special collections and fundraising efforts.
Catholic Stewardship also teaches that our giving should not only be of our treasure, but of our time and talents as
well. And especially, not only of time or talent, but also some treasure.
Time and talent and treasure, a trinity of giving is what true stewardship is about. Being as generous as
possible in all three dimensions of stewardship is what the Church asks of us.
We dont preach or write very often about money from the pulpit or in Pastoral Corners at St. Philip Neri Parish. Not
often enough it would seem since our situation is now so desperate.
Now that you are hearing it, I hope you will all pray deeply for the guidance of the Holy Spirit when as individuals or
families you reflect and decide how much you will be giving in support of the Parish in your weekly or monthly giving for
Fiscal Year 2015/2016.
