Stewardship is an ethic that embodies the responsible planning and management of resources. (Wikipedia)

Stewardship is the conducting, supervising, or managing of something; especially : the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care. (Mirriam-Webster)

A Summary of the U.S. Bishops' Pastoral Letter on Stewardship (USCCB Web)

     All members of Sacred Heart Parish and School are invited and encouraged to support the Sacred Heart community with a gift of their time and talent.  Calls for volunteers are made regularly for assistance through the parish bulletin, The Guardian, announcements at weekend Masses, and in communications from Sacred Heart Catholic Schools.    

As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as
good stewards of God's varied grace.  (1 Pt 4:10)

     There are opportunities in every area of parish life--worship, education, Christian service, stewardship, Sacred Heart Catholic School, and others--to contribute the gifts and talents that God has given you.  

     While our main appeal for time and talent thas typically taken place each August, you are welcome to express your interest in being of service at any time during the year.  As programs and ministries begin and training is offered, you will be contacted and invited to participate.  

     If you need assistance or more information at any time, please feel free to contact the parish office. God bless you for your willingness to share your gifts and talents with your Sacred Heart Parish family. We thank you for the good stewardship you exercise at Sacred Heart and for your commitment to our community.

     In a number of parish ministries and programs, compliance with the safe environment requirements of the Archdiocese of Detroit is necessary, including a criminal history background check and participation in a Protecting God's Children workshop.
