CATHOLIC STEWARDSHIP
Accelerate Generosity for the Mission of Christ
As leaders, we know you have big dreams for your parish and/or school. But how do you bridge the gap between your vision and the resources you need? Our Generosity Strategists are here as partners to ensure your God-inspired vision becomes a reality.
Unlocking Generosity:
Moving From Transactions to Transformation
As a leader in the Catholic Church, you are often at a pivotal moment in guiding your parish community. You are deeply committed to the mission of the Church, but discerning the best way forward can be challenging. Stewardship—encouraging your parishioners to offer their time, treasure, and talents in service of the Church's mission—requires great care. The fear of asking too much or appearing too focused on material needs can weigh heavily on your heart.
In the day-to-day responsibilities of parish life, it is easy for the profound, spiritual call to generosity to be overshadowed by the routine of giving, reducing it to transactions rather than an expression of faith and love.

Don’t Get Sidelined by Lack of Financial Resources
Few parishes are exactly where they want to be with their ongoing stewardship efforts. As a result, some pastors feel limited by a shortage of resources. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
You may find yourself asking, “How can we close the gap between the vision God has entrusted to our parish and the resources we need to fulfill it?”
Let us help. At Generis, we partner with Catholic parishes to strengthen their financial stewardship, ensuring that your resources align with the vision God has given you. Reach out today, and together, we’ll explore how to bridge this gap.

Gratitude
Establishing a gratitude culture in your church goes hand-in-hand with creating a generosity culture. In fact, we would say that you can’t have a thriving generosity culture without gratitude. The truth is, saying “thank you” makes a difference to your givers, to your staff, and to your volunteers.
