Financial Stewardship
Giving joyfully is a ministry
Learn about Financial Stewardship by reading the Financial Stewardship Toolkit.
So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or out of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. - 2 Corinthians 9:7
When you support financial stewardship, you make so much possible. Make a 2010 Financial Stewardship Pledge.
Great News!
Because so many made joyful giving their priority, we are only $50,000 away from reaching our goal of $2.2 million. Every household’s pledge is important, click here if you have not yet made a pledge. Please join the 1,600 households who have already made giving a priority.

The Basilica has given us so much, it only seems natural to give back. We are just so grateful. - Bonnie Steele
I give back for the goodness I have received and for the goodness of others. - Liz Yurich
We make The Basilica a financial priority because it is our place of guidance, comfort, and love. We’ve made wonderful friends and have been blessed with countless opportunities for growth. We want to give back as much as we are able. - The Pekarek Family
