Stewardship is a spirituality - a way of life - which calls for our response by: - Receiving the gifts of God with gratitude
- Cultivating them responsibly
- Sharing them generously in justice with others
- Returning the gifts with increase to God

I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to understand Stewardship as a spirituality for life in order to embrace a radical vision for what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, the ultimate steward. I pray that the people of the Archdiocese will embrace stewardship as a way of putting the gospel into action by acknowledging that all we have are gifts from God."
Archbishop Emeritus John Bathersby DD Stewardship and our Archdiocesan Vision Stewardship supports our Archdiocese of Brisbane Jesus Communion Mission vision because it encourages Catholics to: - Be radically committed to Jesus and his teachings
- Participate more actively in the communion of their parish and networks of relationships
- Live out their baptismal mission in the world
“Each one of you has received a special grace, so, like good stewards responsible for all these varied graces of God, put it at the service of others”. 1 Peter 4:10
