The Everyday Stewardship Vision
As the baptized, we are called to grow in our faith to a point where we respond to the call of Jesus Christ regardless of the cost. This leads us to an everyday way of living, not just a series of activities or good deeds. When we find ourselves truly living a stewardship way of life, we realize that we have transformed, to aid in transforming our parishes and then the world around us.
Grow Parish Engagement
LPi offers a wide variety of coaching and consultative services to help your parish grow in mature discipleship and a stewardship way of life. Stewardship catechesis, strengths coaching for both leadership bodies or individuals, or processes geared toward creating a greater unity in parish collaboratives are all ways that LPi can partner with you to help make your communities clearer reflections of the Kingdom of God.
Building Stewardship in Your Parish
A typical path to success in this area often begins with a stewardship day event for all the leaders and primary stakeholders in your community. Next, we assist you in forming small reflection groups, journeying together and focused on the key characteristics of a good everyday steward. Finally, a parish mission for the entire community over several days will help solidify the concepts and principals already introduced.

StrengthsFinder in the Church

The Power of Witnessing
The stories others tell can provide us with motivation, inspiration, and the impetus to act, or at least, consider an action of our own. When a story you hear is an actual witness or testimony to something great, the ability for such stories to impact our lives profoundly increases.
