STEWARDSHIP
Every member of our parish is challenged to live their Catholic faith to the fullest by reaching out to others and focusing less on self. We are called to share our gifts with the Community so that they may become God's gifts to all. A true disciple has no other choice.

STEWARDSHIP LIFE
We profess that we belong to God and all that we possess is His.
We place our life in God’s loving hands and make Him our treasure
An Act of
Prayer
​We adore Him as the giver of all good gifts.
An Act of Community
We unite our offering with the rest of our parish family so that together we might care for the need of one another
An Act of Faith
An Act of Trust​
A thankful portion must be the first portion. Jesus told us to seek first His Kingdom and everything else will be added unto us. When we decide that the first part of our stewardship belongs to God and to His poor, we are making a faith decision. We are trusting that what is life over after we have given God His share will be enough for us and our family.

ARCHBISHOP'S APPEAL FOR MINISTRIES
​​​​
The 2025 Archbishop's Appeal for Ministries Campaign is set to kickoff the weekend of February 22nd and 23rd, 2025.
Every year our Parish is given a goal from the Archbishop to support the Archbishop’s Appeal for Ministries providing material, educational, and spiritual needs of God’s people across the 19 counties of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, serving over 30 ministries.
In 2024 St. Mark's gifts and pledges were $160,643 meeting 80% of our Parish Goal, $201,646.
As we await our 2025 goal, we hope to exceed our 2024 giving! We invite you to begin discerning what amount your family is able to give either one time, or pledge, to the appeal this year.
​
Our contributions to the Appeal assure the continued existence of the many important programs supported by our Archdiocese and ​Archbishop asks us all to prayerfully consider giving to this appeal that supports the works of Catholic Evangelization through Media (CTSA, Today's Catholic, and more,) Catholic Faith Based Education (Hope for the Future, Catholic Schools, and more) Catholic Services to those in Need, (Counseling, Guadalupe Home, Project Rachel, Seton Home, St. PJ's, and more,) Catholic Parish Life & Faith Formation, (Campus Ministry, Hospital Ministry, Criminal Justice Ministry, Deaf Ministry, Catechetical workshops and formation, and more,) and Accompanying our Shepherds, (Diaconate, San Antonio Vocations, Seminarians and Retired Priests) all here in our Archdiocese of San Antonio.

STEWARDSHIP PRAYER
I believe that You will always provide me with what I need if I only ask.
I know that whatever You give me is to be shared with others in my family, my parish, my community, my country, and the world.
Create in me a spirit of trust so that as I have been given, so will I give. Help me to use my gifts wisely, always aware You are the source of all blessings.
Grant that I may share my time, talent and treasure in ways that will bring glory to Your Son, Jesus,
who reigns with you now and forever.
Amen.
