Reintroducing Stewardship as a Way of Life

Wins Mirasol , Christ the King’s Stewardship Committee co-head together with spouse Benjie Mirasol, gave an overview of CTK’s brand of ‘stewardship as a way of life’ last February 17 during the General Assembly of Lectors and Commentators.

The key point she made was – stewardship is really ingrained in Christ the King’s parishioners, and we can rightfully claim to be a ‘Stewardship Parish’ as our website christ thekingparish.ph proudly proclaims on its cover page.

Wins proudly pointed out to the lectorscommentators in attendance that the websi te gave clear evidence of investment of time and talent, as she sowed screen grabs from the parish website of the various ministries, mandated organizations, and prayerrenewal movements present in the parish.

She also pointed out the overwhelming generosity of CTK parishioners as demonstrated by donations inserted in the daily and weekend offertory boxes, regular ‘stewards’ who consistently contributed their stewardship envelopes; ongoing donations to the Casa de Silencio retirement home project; second collections during third Sundays (Outreach Sunday); and special call for donations to be be sent to calamity sites, e.g., Marawi, Bohol, Leyte, etc.

Wins Mirasol quoted Matthew 6:19-21:

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

So she asked the audience, ‘Where is your money going? How do you spend your free time? What are your recurring thoughts? How do you interact?’ The answer tells you where the heart is.
