Parish Vitality Conference:

13th – 15th November, 2014

A “SHEKEL” FOR YOUR THOUGHTS ON FUNDRAISING

Have fundraisers become an important source of revenue for your parish? Do you feel too dependent upon them to make ends meet? Christian stewardship offers an alternative approach. Everyone has something to offer be it time, talent or treasure.

The Parish Vitality Conference will feature five workshops that explain how Christian stewardship can go to work for your parish and its mission. Check out why Peter Nols, member of the Newman Centre board of directors and our treasurer, wants to know more about stewardship under WHY: View from the Pew at parishvitality.com.

Scheduled for Nov. 13-15, the conference is open to everyone involved or interested in parish life. Brochures and registration forms are available from your parish; for up-to-date information and online registration, go to: parishvitality.com.
