Members of Saint Pius X are invited to embrace Stewardship as a way of life by fully committing themselves to Prayer, Service, and Sacrificial Giving.

As members of the Body of Christ, the Church, we are called to further her mission in the world and spread the Gospel in all aspects of life. The fathers of the Second Vatican Council describe this unique calling in Lumen Gentium (The Dogmatic Constitution on the Church):

The laity, however, are given this special vocation: to make the Church present and fruitful in those places and circumstances where it is only through them that she can become the salt of the earth. Thus, every lay person, through those gifts given to him, is at once the witness and the living instrument of the mission of the Church itself ‘according to the measure of Christ’s bestowal’ (Eph. 4:7). (LG 33)

We spread the Gospel through Stewardship, which invites all followers of Jesus Christ to give intentional and proportional gifts of time (Prayer), talent (Service), and treasure (Sacrificial Giving) in service of the parish community, which also furthers the mission of the Church.

In gratitude for God’s many blessings, Saint Pius X Parish offers 9 percent of its income to the poor. Of that amount, 4 percent supports our sister parish of Saint Adalbert in South Bend and 1 percent is given to support Palestinian Christians in the Holy Land. The remaining 4 percent is distributed to assist with local, national and international needs of the poor, as recommended by the parish Financial Resources Committee.
