Highlights of Our 2020 Stewardship Renewal

T

his past autumn, our parish leadership at St. Francis Xavier conducted the 2020 Stewardship Renewal. The Stewardship Renewal allowed our parish community to discern how we are using our gifts of time, talent, and treasure in service to the parish and in return to God. This month, we are happy to share with you some of the highlights of the Stewardship Renewal.
