Stewardship Success: A Practical Guide for Catholic Parishes

After 23-plus years helping hundreds of Catholic parishes and dioceses across the country develop Stewardship as a Way of Life, Eric and Lisa McArdle — two of the co-founders of Catholic Stewardship Consultants, Inc., along with Eric’s father, Deacon Don McArdle — share the story of their life's work. With this book, they hope to inspire Catholic pastors and parish leaders to take a leap of faith and begin their own stewardship journey. In Stewardship A Practical Guide for Catholic Parishes, the McArdles share with you the very best of what they have learned over the past two-plus decades as stewardship specialists. At the end of this brief read (90 pages), you will understand the true meaning of stewardship, and, equally important, what stewardship is not. You will learn to avoid the pitfalls that can undermine your efforts as you introduce this way of life to your parish. You will be armed with the practical steps and best practices you can implement in your parish to help stewardship as a way of life begin to take root in the lives of your parishioners, transforming them into committed disciples of Christ.
