Stewardship at Spirit of Christ
By Silvia intana, Director of Outreach
Each of you should use whatever gi you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10
Fiscal year of July 2020 to June 2021 was a true testament of the stewardship of time, talent, and treasure of Spirit of
Christ’s parishioners. Even during a difficult pandemic situation, during a tumultuous time, during a time of change, of
the unknown, you have been present, you have been a great support not only to your parish but to the community at
large. We are called to share God's blessings, because He blesses us every day… and by sharing the blessing He has pro-
vided you with today, God multiplies His love through your gi of time, talent, and treasure for a multitude of people
-How am I helping by tithing?
At Spirit of Christ, 15% of your tithe is allocated to the Outreach department. These funds help the parish support the
outreach ministries, it funds the second collections that the Archdiocese does not require the basket to be passed, it sup-
ports your fellow parishioners experiencing financial hardship, and it also helps to provide funds to non-profit organiza-
tions providing direct support locally, nationally, and internationally.
-What causes am I supporting through the Stewardship at Spirit of Christ?
This is a short list of some of the areas your Stewardship of time, talent, and treasure have assisted the community:
Child protection Services - School and sport supplies
Counseling services - Military veteran support
Medical care, dental and nursing services - In-home caretaking
Shelters - Youth Mentors and ministers
Education - Drug/alcohol addiction support
Food pantries and food for the homeless, for working families, for the migrant community
Housing for families, single moms, working adults, and at-risk youth
Provide car repair/maintenance to single moms
INTERNATIONAL—Provide clean water and sanitation in rural Latin America: Bolivia, Nicaragua
Medical equipment in Zambia
Education: Establish libraries in Kenya, enterprise education in Uganda, school support and equipment in Mexico, and
mental health and dental care in Mexico
-Am I making a difference in people’s lives? Does the Church need my stewardship of time and talent?
Absolutely! You are the hands and feet of Jesus. Every minute you volunteer your time to feed the hungry, you pray for
someone, you comfort the sorrowful, you donate to a drive, you visit the sick or the imprisoned, and you advocate for the
less fortunate, you are living your faith by being a model of Jesus’ teachings and you are helping someone to overcome
obstacles.
To find out more about Spirit of Christ’s Stewardship and how you can get involved with the outreach ministries, please
go to our website or call Silvia intana in the parish office.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR MAKING ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE.

Reflection on the past year by Finance Council
I was first asked to join the Finance Council by Fr David Bluejacket and Deacon Dick
Baker. I was humbled by the request then and even more so now that Father Chris has
asked that I take responsibility for Chairing Finance Council meetings.
Deacon Dick Baker was a mentor to me and helped me understand how faithful stew-
ardship applies to the decisions and responsibilities of the SOC Finance Council. There
are just a couple of “rules” to keep in mind: First, certain faith that the Holy Spirit moving
through the Spirit of Christ community will provide all that we need through the Offertory.
This means that we set the annual budget based on the expected Offertory, not our de-
sired spending. Secondly, be generous and share your gis with those in need and God will
increase His gis to you. This means that the Outreach tithe of 15% of Offertory is main-
tained, even when it might be far easier to spend the money otherwise.
With these thoughts in mind I offer the following as a brief re-cap of the past year, with
a particular focus on improvements to the building and facilities. This brings to mind
the third stewardship “rule”: take care of what God gives you.
Pandemic review:
The pandemic presented a challenging time to manage parish finances. The Finance
Council, Father Chris and George Ketchel, SOC Business Manager, held numerous
meetings over a period of months to arrive at a process to guide our decision making in
four critical areas. First, to meet our monthly operational costs, while keeping expenses
in line with the actual Offertory being received; Second, to remain loyal to our 15% tithe;
Third, to avoid staff reductions as a result of the pandemic; Fourth, to continue to main-
tain our buildings and facilities through thoughtful planning and scheduling.
We were able to navigate the situation fairly well, successfully meeting our goals with
the exception of an expense overage for the 2020 fiscal year.
Facility Improvements:
The Finance Council is keenly aware of our responsibility to keep care of the gis that
God has given to us. This means we pay close aention to the condition of all our build-
ings and facilities. Working closely with David Dudden, our Facilities Manager, we help
set priorities, examine alternatives and evaluate proposals to address our greatest needs.
Following is a list of the main Building and Facilities improvements completed since
October 2020:
Completed payment for Carollin Bell system
Upgraded AV Booth and Equipment
Updated the Fire Control System Thank you to our

There are additional improvements being planned that will be implemented over the Rick Langfield
near term:
Complete St Joseph statue installation Tom Lyons
Repair the outside stairs and railing south of the Gathering Space David Reinicke
Improve drainage on the east side of the Spirit Center and Church Offices Michael Shephard
Repair and replace rusting exterior doors and frames
Continue to put funds aside for eventual HVAC replacement
None of these projects, either completed or planned, would be possible without your
faithful sharing of Treasure in the Offertory. On behalf of the Finance Council, I want to
thank you for your steadfast commitment to sharing not only your treasure but your
time and talent as well. God has indeed blessed us with an amazing Catholic Communi-
