Thread: Stewardship Parish

Stewardship is a type of management or guidance program offered by the Catholic church so I am guessing a stewardship parish would be a parroquia which makes use of the stewardship program.

STEWARDSHIP/MAYORDOMIA

Committee that promotes the involvement of all parishioners in the various Church Ministries and Services. Stewardship emphasizes a way of life where each parishioner shares of his/her Time, Talents and Treasure with the Parish.

El Comité de Mayordomía promueve la participación de todos los feligreses en los diferentes ministerios y servicios que ofrece la parroquia. El propósito primordial de Mayordomía es el de crear en nuestros feligreses un modo de vida de compartir sus talentos, tiempo y tesoro con la parroquia.

I couldn't help trying to find info on this as I had never heard of that before and I ran into this info. Without any context it's hard to find an exact translation.

Stewardship is a theological belief that humans are responsible for the world, and should take care of it. It can have political implications, such as in Christian Democracy.

Christian management of resources; Church department that develops and promulgates a biblical approach to stewardship ministries.

Stewardship also has many meanings in theology. Green Christianity emphasizes stewardship as a Bible-based environmental outlook. Financial stewardship is based on the belief that God is the true owner of each person's possessions, and that one is accountable to God for the acceptable care and use of those possessions. Stewardship can also refer to Jesus Christ's accountability to God the Father for the Christians that have been entrusted to Him.

A synonym can be administration. Ahora me di cuenta que he escrito en inglés. Bueno, sin contexto es difícil pero puede ser la Parroquia Administrativa (o alguna palabra eclesiástica que defina esto) aunque suena muy extraño. Realmente necesitamos más contexto.

You're welcome, Ro. Glad I was of some help!

Hi Sandra!! Been a long time, no?

This post intrigued me also and I've thought about it.

I'm sure that this will add nothing useful to Ro's request but the way it is written, i.e., stewardship parish suggests that this refers to a Catholic parish being guided by, or influenced by, or managed by the principles or guidelines of a stewardship program or department, as described in your post; "Christian management of resources; Church department that develops and promulgates a biblical approach to stewardship ministries.", rather than parish stewardship which would be the program or department itself, so wouldn't it be una parróquia administrada (por el departamento de mayordomía)? It seems to me that parróquia administrativa lacks the "stewardship" angle.

Que piensas tu?
