Stewardship Campaign 2026

We are excited about the 2026 stewardship campaign! Our theme verse this year is taken from 1 Corinthians 3:11: “Let each builder choose with care how to build.”

As we continue to give thanks that our building project—our new nave—is fully funded, we look forward to caring for the new worship space and for continuing to support the work God is doing through Saint Catherine’s in Cheslea in all the ways God has given us—time, talent, and treasure. To than end, we invite you to prayerfully consider your pledge to Saint Catherine’s in 2027. Pledging is an excellent way to help your Vestry budget responsibly for the coming year. The more we know about what we can expect, the better we can manage the financial resources that God provides. You can pick up a pledge card at the church and return them either to the offering plate on Sundays, to Father Dillon, or to the office. We will also be mailing cards and letters to ensure that everyone receives one. For you convenience you can also make your 2027 pledge here.

Beyond finances, we hope you will also consider contributing to Saint Catherine’s this year with time and talent. We have many opportunities to serve—choir, lay eucharistic ministry, acolyting, altar guild, coffee hour, hospitality, healing ministry, outreach. Wherever God is calling your heart and whatever talents God has given you for that work there is a place for you here at Saint Catherine’s!

Memorial Gifts

When a loved one dies, many choose to make a memorial gift to St. Catherine’s in memory of that person. All memorial gifts to the church are placed in the general operating fund, unless otherwise specified. For more information on contributing a memorial gift to St. Catherine’s, please contact our parish office.

Planned Giving

Planned giving through bequests are normally placed in the general operating fund, unless otherwise specified by the donor. St. Catherine’s does not currently operate an endowment fund. However, there are several special funds to which bequests can be designated, such as the fund for our new church building. We encourage all members of St. Catherine’s to consider the church when they are making end-of-life plans for their estate. For more information on planned giving, please contact our parish office.
