Stewarding Our Gifts
2017-2018 Stewardship Renewal
Holy Trinity Parish
Christian stewardship begins with the understanding that everything we have has been given to us by God- our time, our talent, our treasure.
This calls us to...
Priority Giving- Giving to God the first fruits, not what is left over
Thoughtful Giving- Not impulse or occasional giving, but making an annual commitment and following through on a regular basis.
Proportionate Giving- Giving a percentage of annual income.
Celebrating Holy Trinity Stewardship Renewal 2018

F.O.O.D Project (Fields of Opportunities and Dreams) Many farmers of Holy Trinity and Webster County commit a number of acres or bushels of grain to be planted, cared for and harvested. The monetary gain of this hard work is then directed to the Food Resource Bank and, as a partner in this program, Catholic Relief Service can withdraw money to support programs in Africa and South America to help their farmers become self-sufficient while learning to improve methods for farming from an agronomist. All farmers are welcome to participate. Contact Wayne McMannus at (515) 570-5377.

Pro-Life Ministry As declared by the USCCB, the Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. The value of human life is being threatened by contraception, abortion, cloning, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, the death penalty and more. The Pro-Life Committee attempts to address these important areas and meets monthly as announced in the parish bulletin. All Holy Trinity parishioners are welcome and encouraged to join the committee for any meeting. Contact Wynn Touney at (515) 576-2296.
St. Joseph the Worker Club This group is a means for younger members of our parish to give back to the elderly members as a form of thanks for everything they have done for our generation, and to assist them by doing small things they cannot do for themselves. “Club members” will do handyman type jobs such as fix door handles, change light bulbs, move furniture, etc. It will only involve a few hours a month of the volunteer’s time and is open to any man or woman of any age willing to help. Contact Joyce Lennon at the Parish Office.
Parish Formation
Rock Climbers Catechist What greater gift can we give and receive than knowing we passed our faith to the generations behind us? You can teach a grade level that you prefer (Gr 1-5) or share the teaching responsibilities with another Catechist. Either way will give you tremendous satisfaction in helping our children.

Parish Life

Childcare for Events/Classes There is a constant need in the parish for someone to provide childcare during various activities and events, for children of those parishioners who are themselves volunteering their talents such as Faith Formation catechists and helpers, and for the children of parishioners who are participating in events, such as the Divorce Program and Financial Program. This is normally a few hours during specific evenings. Contact Joyce Lennon at the Parish Office
Provide Food & Hospitality for Events/Classes Our parish has a need for dedicated individuals who will act as host/hostesses and/or provide food and refreshments for various activities and events.
